    I have named it 'Daffy'. A fitting name, I think.
    To the hones!
    Nice work and appropriate moniker Tom!
    The bluing and marks really pop on that restore.

    Could be on an episode of "The Outer Limits"

    Lovely striped scales, Outback! I wish I had a large sheet of this celluloid to make scales for the 7 MK31s.

    I reckon it is time to write our brother a letter at his last known address.
    I am going to and any one wanting an address can PM me or Mike.
    Worried about the boy. Had a full plate. Hope all is well.
    Give him a shout!

    Needed a little strength and thickness in the middle so I fashioned some brass for the mid tang. Then I sandwiched it in some ivory received from Tom.

    Getting there slowly. Still need to shape it more, than scales, proper cleaning etc.
    But moving along with big help from Tom on materials

    Great work on those scales & restore on the DD Tom!


    BTW, I ordered some bullseye collars & washers from AJKenne for my Rodgers restore. Just waiting on postage costs before I order some horn from robsbits in the UK.
