History
The name Ensign is one of the more interesting model names, and seems to share a military inspiration, as with the early Standard model.
The Ensign was most commonly available with simple straight line-etched scale patterned. A matte finish version has been seen, but it may have had a different name in some markets. Although the SABI 1985 catalog shows and describes the Broker as not having a keyring, this was likely in error, as the 1989 catalog shows the two models side-by-side with the Broker having the keyring.
