hello all,
i have a replica of Snake Plisskens eagle head tracer from escape from new york, that i kindly got from a friend who had two of the them. only thing is, the latch didn't always hold and it would release and swing open without warning! which is what led to the eagle head snapping off!!!!
i contacted Rylo who originally made them, but he doesn't do this kind of soldering anymore. so i thought i'd see if anyone else on here did bronze soldering that i could hire to repair it? on top of the eagle head being REattached, i'm also looking to have the latch pin enlarged so it latch tighter and open ONLY when released.
here you can see how it's SUPPOSED to be. hinge, latch pin on the eagle head and the release catch
the head
the bracelet
so if you or anyone you know does this kind of work, PLEASE pass this on and/or PM me
thanks so much
