A New Ugly Duckling

nickzdon · Mar 19, 2012

I bid on this on the 'Bay on a total lark (no pun intended), but lo and behold I won. A rusty beat up Kelly Black Raven double bit for 20 bucks. Not the prettiest bird, but a welcome addition to the flock. More pics to come when she comes home to roost. I've got too many of these projects, I need to stop fixing them up and get them out in the woods!

Nice stamp!

I think it might actually say "Pink Hen." Sorry, Dude.

J/k That will be a cool restore!

Will do. Does anyone know if anyone here on the forum swinging one of these on a regular basis as a user axe? Most that I've seen are collector pieces.

Even all banged up that will be a unique user. Very cool. I'd swing it.

"Pink Hen", M3mphis is spending too much time in the fly box I think.

I wish....

ETA: There's a guy over on BCUSA that has a Black Raven double that, I believe, is a user. Looks a lot like yours. I'll try to find you a link later today.
