Hello everyone, here are some photos of a custom Sterlingworth that I am building.
I hope to have it done in time for Reno next year. Thanks for looking.

Don't let Craig Libhart see that! He'll want to volunteer to stock it! Nice work. See ya in Reno if you make the FEGE show at the Silver Legacy.

That is going to be beautiful. I really like the step detail on the top lever to say nothing about the side plates. Please keep posting pictures as work progresses.

Regards, Gordon

It always nice to see that this type of craftmanship is still practiced in our Country. I will be awaiting pictures of the final product.

Very nice work indeed!,you have recognizable style of your own and quite an inventive mind,..... and as one can see from the work on the LC on your web site you like the Scott type of window indicator,.... and although I can see how it was used conventionally on the LC lock plate where the actual hammer cams directly behind the window, I'm curious as to what little spring loaded device you came up with to show the hammer position on this one since the actual hammer is quite forward of the window location

Very nice work!

The taste of poor quality lingers long after the cheap price is forgotten.........

Thank you for the compliments! The cocking indicators are spring-loaded flags that pivot on the screw that is below and forward of the window. They roll against the backsides of the hammers. When the hammers are down, the flags are pivoted forward, allowing a hole machined in it to align with the window. When the hammers are cocked, the flags roll backward so that the solid portion shows in the window. The flags will be gold plated in the finished product.
