[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 232896, member: 2244"] Neat that you aquired a US only Pete ! After looking closely at my early 70's Rocky 999 the differences btwn these two models are very apperant. Though the older Rocky's are blasted as yours is, they had the red base stain w/black over which rubs off with time and smoking and the red comes through and yours is brown. and the Sterling band is not only wider, front to back but it is tapered as is the stem and bit so that if put side/side yours has a thicker stem and the bit/stem junction is much "squarer" so to speak. Nice, Nice catch :P I do have two "birthday" Petes, both pre-Republic's that my father bought in London in '46 :P [/QUOTE]
