Would this be one of his first? Interestingly, I've quite a few of Ron's but none signed. One I have came with Dau paperwork, must have been straight after he took over from Henry. Has the distinctive dent in the head, smooth finish about 1988, but curiously no signing on bib.
Wonder did Henry ever start making with the dented head before he retired? Would these be the result of a different copy lathe template set-up?
Regards, Tony.

Did Henry use a copy-lathe or did he hand-carve?
