To keep an old thread alive!

I just acquired a ~1939 Boosey & Hawkes 1011, the ebonite version of the 1010.

I was surprised to see the top joint is completely lined. Also the middle socket is lined. Seems to partially fit the description of an earlier 1011 "Special Military Model" from Jennifer Brand's B&H thesis.

I misspent 3 youthful years in the Scots Guards band. They had a 1011 which played very nicely, but I don't remember that being lined. No-one wanted to play it because it wasn't wood.

This one plays nicely enough but needs re-padding and regulation. Quite a few keys are set too low, with shouldered skin pads that are thicker than the original tan leather pads.

Any other 1011s out there?
