Help Identifying My Dads Fig

I have grown up eating this fig. I was my Dads tree in queens NY. Never covered in the winter, just cut down every year,and produced tons of figs. I brought plates of figs and cuttings to Chris from Belclare nurseries in L.I N.Y. He could not ID it because he said it was similar to a few but the taste was unique.Here is some info has two crops when its hot.Has a closed eye, the taste is not to sweet and jam texture. Could be from Italy or Greece any help would be appreciated
 Thank you

Paul,
color and shape is typical of Sal's, Hardy Chicago and similar Sicilian figs. 

Thank you Bass. Bass you had given me some unknown plants at the first North east gathering at Bills place, I should have figs from them,I will post so you can ID them when they are ripe
 Thank you
