SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/08/2016 05:53 am Supposing that the cross or bow tie is worn, is there something other that one can tell? I have a couple of these and I always have problems telling one from the other. Edited by SHAFTA9a 11/08/2016 05:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 11/08/2016 10:30 am This is from the Charlton Catalogue showing the two 8's. Notice the difference in the inside open areas. (Corrected typo) Edited by JimmyD 11/08/2016 10:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
