I’m feeling leery putting my reproduction MK1 into it for the sake of this theory (the mirroring arm can be harsh on the donor profile).. but I did get a rather nice result from one of the machined V2 replicas currently in my collection (SH).[ATTACH=full]1515938[/ATTACH]That is how it looks when it first comes offThe duplicator… the rest has to be finished manually on a traditional lathe.[ATTACH=full]1515939[/ATTACH]Once painted black; the result is striking.I do feel rather confident that- when looking at the wooden buck and metal castings in that exist in private collections: the geometry and miniature marks match the MK1 (with the handwheel not fully tightened onto the booster) exactly, in consideration with the way this kind of machine works. IE the nuance of the booster fin profile, the taper from an imperfectly straight hilt, and the clamp itself captured (if impartially) on a duplicator.</blockquote>
