also st johns didnt have line guilds ,apart from a few special order models fitted with guilds ,bit like the st george models , and a rare one is 3 3/4 1920 -1939 model stamped js - jimmy smith inside ,also H stamped inside mean hidumnium used in place of duralumin ,also bone handle were also fitted to the early ones (1920s) ,as for cases ,velvet and cardboard were used early ,and wooden boxs then plastic up to the 1950 bit of info for you
