Mr Newbern,..Idon't know how I would value it,..I have a rough idea based on the original cost and the work involved Mr Pittelko,..I have no way of telling how many hours are in the project,..never kept track, no doubt several hundred Daryl,no bending of the lock I just got creative with the wood,..too long to type I could explain later if you wish CJ The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........

The checkering borders are really nice, the case color is great. I especially like the silver front sight and the pad is nice work. The restoration of the drop points and the diamond grip is exceptional. Yup, I'm with the fellow who wants a list of craftsmen who worked on it, even if it's only one name. Murphy

I'd take this even if it were a premium. I'l bet it never looked this good in the first place. Very impressive work. Bill G.
