Thread: Torrey " Army"

This one is for a guy who's sons are in the military. No before shots but typical patina, some rust spots and dull scratched scales. Keeping the etch was a challenge but it worked out fine.
Broke it down, polished it up and it's ready for another tour of duty.Kept it original.

That is amazing work. Love it.

very nice !! good job as usual !!!!

What are those scales made of?

Celluloid! I have a nearly matching set on one of mine as well as this same pattern of bolstered scales in a wood grain pattern and about 10 or so In french Ivory.
I just don't see many in this greenish cracked ice pattern.

I've got a set of celluloid with those same bolsters, but not anywhere near as good looking as those are! I love that color.

very nice, love the scales.

Here are a just a few of mine in this style. The green one is in there along with the wood colored and a multitude of the more common white. Though it's hard to see , almost each of the bolsters is slightly different.

The one that I have is a mottled yellow with translucent. Not bad looking, but not in great shape really.

Sounds interesting. I'd love to see a pic. Can it be restored?
