Hi,Looking for some info on the standard 110;questions are:-
When did the handles change from square to the current rounded type?
Was there a blade steel used between the 440c and 420HC?
If so what,and when did it start and finish?
What is the type of wood used in the 110 up until the change to veneer?
When was the change to the veneer type?
What year did the Crelicam ebony start?

Any and all help much appreciated,thankyou.
 
I'll give it a try off the top of my head... others, feel free to jump in and correct any mistakes.
Rounded edges start with the 4 dot, about 1982.
425m starts with the 4 dot, 1982 and is replaced with 420HC about 1992.
Macassar Ebony is switched to Dymondwood about 1994.
Solid Ebony is reintroduced early 2019

I think there was some Obeeche (sp) used in the early 90's?
I think the first radiused frames were done by hand and did not radius the lock pocket.
