As far as I know, there are this, and the newer, a bit larger model in the Credor line.  The engraving are all hand made, so each individual pieces may be a bit different.
Other creative work of the engraver can be found in my previous articles like these:

This size looks great on you. Finally your quest is over for this beauty. I wonder though, does the engraving change over period of time? I know the current design has 2/4/7 but i am thinking, if he had different engraving every few years, that would be i...
