Dear Ross
Thanks for the prompt to respond to this .
Yes I have seen this before and I have a single example. Mine is P/M 1903 .
It is a common pattern but this is certainly the hardest issue to find with this pattern .
You show a nice multiple , I must say that I have never seen a multiple of this value and certainly not with this pattern.
It shows us that the A .6 ( Mathews HAPP numbers ) is most likely a single head device , although I would need to see another mulitple to compare distance between strikes . It is odd that such a prolific perfin user such as Adams only used one multiple head device , that is the A.3 / A.4 ( Mathews HAPP numbers )device that has been shown to be a 6 head device .
Lovely item Ross
