DBLTRBL --- SOOO glad you spotted the work on the top tang and related it to the bldg. I had to have it upside down to fit the area --- the rest of the design came from the same bldg.
I'd also like to thanks the rest of y'all for your kind words BUT, I have to credit Mr. Beryl for his hard work researching and printing all the pictures he gave me to work with. There were many many pictures of artdeco to work from . Mr. Beryl took the time to set down at the kitchen table and go thru them with me in order to determine what design should go where --- he was really the designer of this piece, I only cut the lines and such.
High prase should also go to Glenn Fewless , Anthony & Dan , Classic Guns inc (for the greyed case hardening). They all worked/played well together to make this project come together easily & quickly. For me, it was a pleasure working with them & I look forward to doing so again.
