Thanks, it was given to me by a former contributor here, he had removed the bail himself. I'm not a bail fan so it suited me. Generally, don't care for bails in the pocket and they can get in the way of closing. Then I gave it away to a generous forumite who I believe, in turn passed it on to an esteemed creator of SFOs - I might be mistaken. So the White-Owl has flown far and wide- starting in the USA then Scotland, then here in Finland, back to the US and maybe to the land of Maple leaves .Man that thing looks classy, but i've gotta ask, why remove the bail? Just aesthetic preference?
