Researcher, thanks for that bit of info and the pics. My biggest concern is with the tang. The tang on this one is blunt and poorly formed, especially when I simply compare it to the tangs on my early A grades.

I actually have two Sterly 16's I am working on, neither come close to being collectable, but I'm hoping to have a nice pair by the time I am done.
