	Here's mine. I can feel the shape of the handles under the rubber covers, and contemplated removing them to give it a older period look. But they are comfortable, so not sure I'll remove them. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I like the handle covers.the Meacham with the flashhole scraper at the end really tears my hand up.I taped them up but it looks silly.

	lots of makers basically copied the one Pope made with minor variations. Including Jerry's. Not that many new De-Re designs out there. after all there is not a huge market and the old designs worked fine

	LINOWW, Instead of tape to cover the scraper(s) go to the hardware store and get some bolt thread protectors. They come in many diameters, are about 1/2" to 3/4" long and just slip on. The yellow ones worked for my .32 and the green for the .25. I don't know if the colors are industry standards or not but they seem to be the same at the different big box stores around here. If you need to use the pocket scraper just slip a cover off and then right back on when you're done. They work great on my Simmons(s). Mike

	Marliguy, Look on the front of the ears that the arm pivot screws are in and you will find in tiny letters a serial mumber. My first one in 1965 was 81 in the 90s I bought 1366. Let us know.

	A short piece of fuel line the correct size for a slip fit would work well as a handle cushion also, and could be slipped off(or up) if primer pocket cleaner is needed.

	Late 1960s or early 1970s. At one time we figured he made about 1400 of them.
