    See this also for the same effect. Though it looks like this one has had work done on it, I don't think the finish is original. (from ebay recently)

    Zak, that's the first time I've seen that one! Marvelous job & terrific work. It's a beauty. That reminds me of the Old English ones I see.................that I have a few of from different makers!

    Outstanding job. I'm really impressed that you were able to save the scales.

    I do the same thing. I save scales when I can. I have one here that the scales were broken on & I fixed it but I can't find it for now................
    I misplaced it once, found it & now I misplaced it again!!!!

    There was a nice one on the bay the other day with ivory scales for bin but it sold. I thought about it & passed because whoever did the scales didn't smooth 'em out good enough!
