I have since had a look at a book by Ray Rimmel (World War 1 Survivors)in
which he says that the Hendon Pup is an amalgam of parts from several Pups.
This seems quite likely when you read the history of it in that book. BTW
, I wrote down the marked serial number for reference (was reading in the
bookstore) and lost the piece of paper - so you are still my only source on
_that_ subject :-)
