    Default Marsh Brothers smiling wedge

    My first full restoration. Ivory scales were broken at the wedge end so I epoxied them to metal liners for support. Blade had deep pitting around the pivot and a few other spots.
    I hand made the pin washers from 3/32 inside diameter brass tubing hammered flat.

    Brilliant idea, absolutely brilliant! And how well it worked, both physically and visually. Bravo!
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
