    Picked up these Letter Openers, when out with the Wife this morning, at an Estate sale... Should go well in my room. Got them polished up. Now where to put them.
    Thats the problem with buying stuff I don't need. And as you guys know, all my stuff must have a place or I will go nuts!

    Jack has his chest against that rod. He will likely know soon as you have a strike!

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    What a beautiful lake and Jack is a very handsome fellow. It just doesn't get much better than that.

    William and John Birks.
    Stabilized the crack/split in the horn scales. Sanded and soaked in Neatsfoot oil for a week. I wanted to reuse the original collars but the holes in the middle were too wallowed out so I found some others to use. Got the blade polished up with steel wool and polish and pinned it up. Its far from perfect but I wanted it to stay looking like it should 230 to 240 years old!

    I saved a couple before pics...
