    First time I ever heard of losing a loading press in a divorce, but I have heard of a custody battle over a dog.

    As for identification, it seems the early ones had the light green wrinkle finish, a bicycle type grip, and cast lever arms painted with the same light green wrinkle finish. The RC 2' had a darker color hammer tone paint, a ball handle. and steel linkage arms that were black oxide finish. There were also variations on the early ones with the linkage pins. It seem there were a couple of variations with the pins, some having press fit pins, and some having a c-clip to hold them.
    I am also led to believe some had a bolt and nut, though I have not seen that myself.

    The casting, itself, does not seem to have changed except for the RC logo has turned to RC-11.
