Another one saved from the scrap heap

I bought this one of the bay fairly cheap. Turns out it was badly rusted on the base of the pen blade and the spring that accompanied that blade. Too bad, as it is an early ten dot 6332. ::dang:: The master spring was also in rough shape, but the master blade was good. I took her apart and scrapped the pen and sheepfoot blades and spring and made a feeble attempt at some file work to disguise the rust pitting on the master spring. I think it came out fairly decent and makes a great carry piece, slim and trim in the pocket. I love the Case red bone!
