    thats very cool..did they have variants of the red and black set? thinner handle and appears to be a 17mm baseplate.. worth investigating..

    Yes, there were a couple of variations of the Red & Black Case. The Common Bar Handle, The Deluxe Common Bar Handle, The Special Deluxe Common Bar Handle, and I have seen another, though I am not sure how to describe it other than to say it is similar to the Special Deluxe Common Bar Handle except it does not have the Art Deco Tooling.

    As you can see, the cases were made for the longer, Uncommon Bar handles, not the Common Bar handles, or even this handle. The other handle has the knurling of a typical Ball End, but a base knob like the above, only plain knurling, not diamond or Art-Deco.
