… and you can call Matt Walters, and he’ll tell you the truth about it - which makes it cool.
I recall when the old model 1270 3-valve top action (and some with four valves) was/were introduced in the early 1970s (with a bore size of only 17mm), and this is a reconfiguration of that.
Meinl-Weston answered back with their Model(s) 10/11 which was convertible for marching.
