It's not a NOS its an original Foote H pattern. The guy that bought the surplus store took over all the old stock and he said he had about 50 of them and only 12 left when I bought one 12 months ago. Only reason I bought it is I plan on restoring it back to its original former glory. which is why I jumped on board the forums here as there is a lot of great info here and everyone seems to have a great amount of passion for the old girls
