You are probably right on .... logically, it was very likely Mr. Bo reserved whatever stag he had for only special occasions. Consider how difficult if not impossible it would be to get any stag from India during the war. He had to exert major efforts to just get steel, much less brass. There were very good reasons to switch to leather handles beyond just function. This would be a good topic for historical research some day... what was the supply infrastructure for stag from India, and how much did Bo have on hand when war started. I’ll bet there was correspondence that addressed that issue.
I’ll pass on the advice on storage to LTC Steve. I know he will appreciate it, thanks.
