Lawrence Smith Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Thanks, this was something I wanted to see if it could get done. ( a person doesn't know until they try ) not sure on a total cost-- this has been some time in the making. Long enough that the chrome place is no longer in operation, the blades are custom solid brass. He says he could make more if others are inclined Edited March 26, 2022 by Lawrence Smith 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
