Just received this Franklin as part of a package. I've eliminated types IV and V and I don't believe it's a type I either. That leaves type II, III, IIIa. Scott number? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Mizar, how did you eliminate Type IV? The curved line on top looks strengthened or re-cut to me, which would conform it as Type IV, #9.
Hope this helps, Ray

Ray, you could be right! It does look as if the top curve line might have been recut. It's the bottom that threw me off. It might very well be a type IV.
