Which Adam model do I have?

I'm not having too much luck figuring this one out, other than it should be awfully early with the joint screw mounted backwards like that. I thought they stopped doing that in the 60s...

Great! Do you know what age that puts it at? I got a chance to use it the other day for a half hour or so and liked the feel.

1980 + or -

Thanks, I found a half dozen Adam brochures on the next, but nothing on the S/T line. Is the odd screw normal on these, or has someone moved it to the shaft? I gave a tentative try on loosening it to see if I could move it to the butt but it's pretty solid...

That is the correct pin configuration.

Thanks! My next step will be to have someone make a second shaft for it. I have a blank but no expertise or tools and I wanted to make sure it was done right.
