Since I don't know what you're making, I'd like to suggest that it would look really cool as the backing for a high backed chair! :thumbup:

Well, I'd like to be the first to bid. $0.64 + a authentic hand held calculator, AND a 4 sets of plastic spoons, forks, and knives. AND a used pair of Reebok tennis shoes.
TOP THAT!

 

[OldPhysics]

that is pretty cool.

as per usual, i find your creations both unique and without equal.

High praise ...

I like 'em, too! :thumbup:

 

[OldPhysics]

this is the first time i have ever alowed pics of me working to be put out..... or even taken while i work.... so this is a bit of fun......

LVC when we get ready for the auction there will be much better photos of this ..... the colors in these pics are horrid....

Then -- my thanks for this. It's been a rough week and this reduced my stress 'just that little bit.'

 

[ksjumpmd]

That is pretty darn COOL VTW!

Those are definitely SHBM & Mean Street cutouts.

I agree that those are SHBMs, but I think the others are BA3s, not MSs.

Pretty cool artwork.

Rick, the pommel screams old school MS

 

[Helle]

Serious cool and wow factor, I have a feeling it is going to bring a whole new meaning to no regrets for some hog.

the ba3 had a wider blade to handle ratio, and it had less narrow looking of a blade portion. also, if this was of the era of the straight handled battle mistress, then it would follow that it was mean streets rather then ba3's wich came later on.

You gonna put that in kydex or leather?

 

[Tohatchi NM]

Pommel makes me think Mean Street. Maybe some from the legendary Desert Warfare batch?

 

[valleytinworks]

hopefully jerry will come on and repeat what this is.... i swear he told me it was steel hearts and ad,s

 

[rbmcmjr]

I thought the small handle looked like the old "rope" profile from the BA3, SJ, PH, etc. line. Not owning a MS, I can't be certain.

[valleytinworks]

so when is jerry gonna chime in

 

[wetdog1911]

those look like straight handled battle mistresses and old style mean streets...

either thats a new sheet from some old school designs, or thats a very old sheet of metal

I believe all the straight handled steel hearts were drop point rather then clip point...


(edit to add: oooooooooooh the knives I could design to fit those center pieces between the cut outs!)

I think very old sheet of metal. Some years ago Jerry mentioned making assault shakers from the center pieces between SHBM cutouts. IIRC

what the hell

 

[voppa]

what the hell

Yeah. What the hell?

 

[Jerry Busse]

That's the original SHBM with the original MS!!! . . . . Now you can see where the MS came from . . . It fit perfectly in between 2 SHBMS! That web is from the very first run!

Chris, that is awesome work!!. . . You have captured quite bit of Busse Combat history there in your amazing work of art!!! :thumbup:

Great job!!!

[wetdog1911]

what the hell

Now that your attention (and ire), is captured, I'd like to ask a question.

Since I can only think of less than 5 HOGS who would be able to afford such a lushcious (it goes beyond beautiful), creation, would you consider offering perhaps lithographs of the work?

Something to think about for the many who would appreciate it.

I am sure I am in the minority, but I think it looks like a mess. The scrap INFI is cool but the Tin stuff behind it looks like crap.
