G.C Co Conversion

I've wanted to start doing conversions for a very long time. I picked up a G.C Co 7 1/2" manual picklock a while back. It was pretty clean; unused but I couldn't sell it so I decided to try my hand at doing a conversion today. It's a Japan G.C but was pretty high quality with nice grinds, horn handles etc. Anyway, I decided to convert it and added some India stag handles. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out considering it's my first ever completed conversion. I am much more comfortable doing these now, wish I had a dollar for every conversion inquiry I turned down because I was uncomfortable doing them. It was a lot easier than I expected.

And there is no chance of this getting effectively passed off as original in the future, all my conversions will be stamped this way. excuse the grime haven't given it a thorough cleaning yet.

Pretty cool, MM! ::tu::

Did you make the sear, button, and lock or did you scavenge them?
