You may have heard that at first the screw-on counter weight did not have the notch in the end but have you ever seen one? If not here is what they looked like without the notch. This one was sold as a "Special Handle Catalog No. 816 (Code #9221)" and came with it's own box.
Kind Regards,
Bill

Bill,
Those boxes were all marked special. I'm staring at a Special Handle Cat. 849-L L.H. with red box. CODE- 9224. It is a high-speed handle and has the notch in the end.

Here is picture of box. Handle still inside.

Kim,
Does your handle have the torpedo handle?
Kind Regards,
Bill

Yes, torpedo handle and high speed on handle side.
