I just picked up a Record No.112P (P implies it was made by Paramo as far as I know) off gumtree, the jaws look real clean and there is zero butcher marks on the slide, which suggests it’s had an easy life. It says ”RECORD STEEL HEAVY DUTY” on the side of the body and it’s a non-QR version, just has a plain square thread screw.
Every picture of a 112 I’ve seen on the internet* is of the QR variety and only says ”RECORD HEAVY DUTY”, missing the ”STEEL”*. Anyone know the ins and outs of the models? I would be interested in gravity-slave’s take on this.
*with the exception of a no.110 that includes the ”STEEL” but it too is the QR type. ”record steel heavy duty” on google images and it’s the last one on the first row.
Will upload pics later, promise.
