    Default Bitten By the Antique Show bug!!!

    They arent beauty Queen's but ill give them a bit of tlc (metal polish and a dremel with some polishing paste)this evening and see if they come back to living a bit. I know there is quite a bit of hone wear that I hate seeing and the etchings on the W&B aren't visible anymore but o well. Hopefully I can convince Glen(hint hint) to bring them back to their former glory.
    Cost $25 for the pair, just putting out the number, I know the rules,Ii was happy to pay it, cant tell but probably just fake ivory scales. Also in the same place there was a gem and jewelry show as well, walked in and got weak seeing an entire table of amazing Lapis Lasuli all finished pieces and unfinished pieces so of course I fed the addiction and grabbed some.
    let me know what you think, sorry about the bad pictures. I have thick skin so I can take it.

    It just stinks that the engravings aren't save able with the w&b. It's also my first w&b so I'm pretty excited about that. Yippee

    I'll have to measure them but I'd say pretty damn close to that size.

    regardless, two large sheffield blades for 12.50 each is a steal. Please don't use the dremel on them.
