Alex, If you forward me an email asking for these pictures, I will forwad them to you or anyone else interested. I would ask that you enlarge the pic three time life size to really appreciate the unseen quality of this Mann's work. The diamonds are pointed up perfectly ! Thanks Mr. Doug for a great example of your work !! And, Thank you Mr. Chuck for posting for me.
I'll have to do some fancy scratching to match Mr. Dougs work but have some plans. I intend on "closely" copying an Optimus pattern from Bob Elliots book. I hope to improve on the quality of engraving as well as extreme detail in the gold critters. The piece will be dolor cased afterwards by Classic Guns . When pictures are available, I will post. Oh yeah, I always sign the watertable in the event someone thinks I might be trying to counterfit or years from now it is mislabled as original.
