Bill taught this to me years ago but I have now forgotten..On the early pistols, the direction the owl was looking..down the barrel or down the grip.....meant something..Does anybody know?
Thanks

On the early black powder models, the owl looked down the barrel.

On the smokeless powder 3rd models starting 1909, the owl looked down the grip.

Boy, color me ignorant! I never knew it had any significance other than just a new grip design.
