Oh man. :love Cant wait to see the rest of it when it's done. Are the blade parts going to be cast metal?

Finished the repairs and restoration... Cleaned the leather and used a thin wax to bring it back.. Buffed the blade out ... Not polished.. Fixed the locks best I could.. And Re-glued the velvet back ...

Do you think the whole box was custom made or do you think they altered a premade carrying case of some sort?

 

[irishamericanlad]

100 percent custom.. every piece..
