Larry, your Fitz 25 is definately a variation. We will show both in the Pictograph section in TCR-8.

As for the long & short of the H&C situation, I consider them varieties. I rarely argue with Doug Saito about anything. Doug calls the "long" the Burt Co. H&C and the "short" the PaulSon H&C.
This would rule out Greg's theory that both molds were used during the same runs and by the same company.
