I made this 3 5/8 swayback up for a Forum member and thought I would post a few pictures.
This is my first use of Elephant Ivory. Its easy to understand why this material has been used for generations on slipjoints etc. I also used a Parser plate and Parser to install the shield.

Spec's,

ATS-34 blade and spring flat ground
milled and relieved integral frame and bolsters.
"rattail" bolsters
Heraldic shield
416 pins and shield

Thanks for looking and of course any comments welcome.

Ken

Oh, I guess it's okay if you like that sort of thing.
