Kutter, I always spend extra time absorbing all that you include in your excellent "how to" posts. This is no different. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into posting here. One rainy day I should begin printing all of your back posts so that I could categorize and save them, for reference.

Regarding the English style flat topped "chequering", I have seen, on older percussion or flintlock English guns, that style "chequering" with a tiny dimple cut into the dead center of each diamond's flat top. It is very classy. Was there a term for that, in the English trade, that you know of?
