I was away for a couple of days, guys, sorry, and e-mailed the photos directly to Ariel.
It's a contemporary piece, nice for what it is, but nothing like the older pieces so I'll not unintentionally hijack another thread with it! **grin**
Derek, a question if I may...how do you explain the bakelite hilt on the one gurade with the Solingen blade?
I'm not doubting you, just the opposite, but find it both curious and fascinating.
I have to admit to being extremely envious of all of these beauties....very well done!
Mike
