Ivory-scaled 1820's Joseph Elliot restore

Remarkable job you did on this. I would have never thought the scales could be so nicely saved. A guy I knew used to say it would take him 10 hours just for the hand sanding on a blade like that. Then the buffers. So I don't doubt the bicep growth.

I realize now that the sun has set that I don't have a picture that really shows the finish on the blade face. It looks satiny in these pictures, but it's actually more of a mirror. It looks satin because what it's reflecting is far enough away to be out of focus.

Oh, wait! Stop the press, I did have one that shows the blade finish.

You'll note it also shows where I scratched the blade on the scales while taking pictures.
