    Default Shepherd Warranted stub tail

    Shepherd Warranted. Widest part of the blade is 6/8. I'd guess it's got a couple hundred years of experience.
    The scales are amber horn. I wasn't real sure what it would look like. It seems to be a blond horn that has been dyed.
    Wedge is ivory colored acrylic with silver pins and ss washers.
    I patterned the scales after the originals that were just hanging on.

    Very unassuming. I love that look. Nothing too fancy to detract from the old blade. Very nicely done.

    Very tastefully done! Those scales are an excellent tribute to a grand old blade!
    Awesome!
