I came across a slight revision to the 'T' trademark this week on a 4½ I've just got my grubby little mitts on. I wanted to add it to the folio, but of course I cannot.
The plane was bought in Canada which may account for the omission of the location stamp and the inclusion instead of patent dates. I thought you might like it to add to the knowledge base. I am assuming same year brackets as the 'T' logo. 1909-1911 especially as it comes from a 'type 11'
Flat gravers are used for fill work on letters, as well as "wriggle" cuts on most musical instrument engraving work, remove background, or create bright cuts. Knife gravers are for line engraving and very deep cuts. Round gravers, and flat gravers with a radius, are commonly used on silver to create bright cuts (also called bright-cut engraving), as well as other hard-to-cut metals such as nickel and steel. Square or V-point gravers are typically square or elongated diamond-shaped and used for cutting straight lines. V-point can be anywhere from 60 to 130 degrees, depending on purpose and effect. These gravers have very small cutting points. Other tools such as mezzotint rockers, roulets and burnishers are used for texturing effects. Burnishing tools can also be used for certain stone setting techniques.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

1943 Moto Guzzi 600U | Italy 🇮🇹
The Moto Guzzi 600U is one of the prototype tricycles developed with the help of the Experimental Military Center to replace trucks. According to the documents, the tricycle was sold to the Royal Italian Armed Forces on August 26, 1943, several years after the last official delivery of U-type tricycles.
The 1938 ER model was taken as a basis. The single-cylinder four-stroke engine is installed horizontal, but not strictly horizontal, as on other Moto Guzzi models, but slightly turned upwards.
Moto Guzzi 600 U was supposed to be equipped with both light and medium weapons with anti-aircraft and anti-tank functions, which made this tricycle a versatile vehicle, especially valuable in wartime.
The tricycle from the Motorworld by V.Sheyanov collection is equipped with a Breda 37 machine gun mounted on a turret with a bulletproof shield and a lift for antiaircraft use.
