I need a set of MOP, 3 1/2 by 1 or 1 1/8. So far I've found suitable scales at Culpepper, but high, Masecraft but not individually pictured, usaknifemaker but not the quality I want.

I know Culpepper's reputation is excellent, and I've bought from them at shows before.
Masecraft has a good rep... anyone have experience with their MOP?
Tracy is great, but only has two or three sets, all with flaws in places I don't want them.

Any other sources? Any experience with jnnpearlinlay on ebay? Anybody got a set they'd part with?
 
Hi Jason. Go to jnnpearlinlay. They are selling what they advertise it to be. I have bought many sets from them. All is good. Shipping is reasonable and that cost low.

Alright, ordered a couple of sets from jnn. I'll let you guys know how it went.
 
Got the MOP today. Delivery was long, but was exactly as specified, so no complaint. The pearl is good! One set is a little cloudier than I'd like, but no yellow spots on either one. I'd buy from them again.
 
JA grade. IIRC, A grade can have a little cloudiness, and maybe a yellow corner. If so, it was graded as advertised.

Awesome thanks Jason, I usually buy from Culpepper because they're semi-local, and I can pick through, but the prices from these guys is too good not to try.
