Based on previous surveys and what I've compiled over the last few years, the rate of survivors in nickel runs about 17-18%. As far as the percentage actually made, since some of those records are lost to time, don't think we'll ever really know.

I guess if I would have said "its SAT" everyone would have known I was kidding, I hope.

Not that far fetched an idea except it didn't come from the factory. The one pictured below shipped to J.H. Crane, London, England . The guns were cased by the distributor and included tools and an oiler also supplied by the distributor.
