Ridgegrass nice collection! The Tryon is very cool. I've never seen that particular shield design before, it's really unique.

The only one I have that may fit into that category is this NY Knife ebony jack that looks like it may have had a run in with some 120 or 240 volt power.

That Tryon is a hoss! Thanks, I have 2 or 3 more Tryon's. All nice quality. J.O. '
