Remarks                                 :

The number “A50” comes from the 1889 Hawksley catalogue, where it is called the “Hawksley’s Patent “Clip” Cartridge Turnover”

It is sometimes difficult to decide whether it is a A50, a A44 or a AA44. If possible it is mentioned at this place.

 

This is possibly a A50NP. But it is not nickel plated but chromed. There is also a nickel plated one in this collection. Apparently this one is of a later date.

 

This is a “cradle” species. The barrel lies in a kind of cradle. Not all of these Hawksley tools have this construction.
