FB, That is one of the nicest sabers I have seen. Really.

Your work on the choke piece is exceptional, ..the brass is clean and crisp and the cuts in it are outstanding.

A work of art, this is.

Yes,  it could,  if I got a little fancier with the shroud cuts on mine!

Nice work on the brass pieces,  did you use a mill to cut the grip slots in the piece on the rear grip?

Thanks Guys!

Jay - I did use a mill sort of, I used a milling vise on a drill press with a 1/8 in milling bit. I dont think I had the platform perfectly square though, so I had to use my Dremel Fu to make them nice.

Just for the record: After doing this one, I REALLY like brass ;D
