Sun King Shines again
Here's my latest project - a 'Le Grelot' blade that still has a faint etching of 'Roi Soleil' - a reference to Louis 14 I believe - but correct me if I'm wrong.
The King has been dressed in black horn with a copper lining, brass washers and copper pins and I have to say that the dark horn and copper go very well together. This is the first time I've posted one of my restorations on SRP, I hope you like it.

Classy as has been said. The copper takes things up a notch. Very nice work.

A beauty of understated elegance with the copper liners giving that little bit extra without being over the top. Nice job and a class razor.
