XX ERA 6318

Post by BIGHEAD »

Had a customer send me this 18 pattern that had celluloid handles and after removing the handles I discovered that the liners were actually eaten into from tension pin and across the liner. So I had to find a donor period correct frame and this is the results of that effort. Added crimson bone and reset the pinned shield. I think the customer will be happy.

That color and jigging look pretty darn close to original Case. Excellent job. ::tu::

Excellent job, you're an artist. Saved and looks fabulous, near perfect for the era bone and very impressed with everything. Congrats Big.
