<p>Hello Todd,</p>
<p> I had a look at your page, you do beautiful work, he's lucky to have a friend with talent that can get it done right. I understand what you mean about the celluloid. I wouldn't have it any other way but that's just my humble and personal opinion. As for duplicating the stamp that wouldn't be a good thing; better blank or with your stamp.</p>
<p>Looking forward to checking out your website,</p>

<p>I do not care much for the celluloid at all. It would be up to him I guess what is done with it? The blades seem to have been the same size? And that would be the easiest thing for me to do is remake the blade, besides duplicate the stamp? Decisions - decisions?</p>

<p>Well I think it would be worth it, being pre-ban and a double, but especially when you add sentimental value. Looks like somebody sat down while it was in their back pocket, so the liner may be bent a bit. Is the other blade gone? To the best of my knowledge the biggest problem with those proposed repairs is they may cost close to value depending on the extent and authenticity of the repairs.

<p>Well I think it would be worth it, being pre-ban and a double, but especially when you add sentimental value. Looks like somebody sat down while it was in their back pocket, so the liner may be bent a bit. Is the other blade gone? To the best of my knowledge the biggest problem with those proposed repairs is they may cost close to value depending on the extent and authenticity of the repairs. If you decide on a rescale that celluloid may be hard to find but is still available though, and if the penblade is missing that could be remade or replaced too. If on the other hand you don't want to tackle the job I do know a few people in the U.S. that are very competent and would be happy to put you folks in touch.</p>

<p>That's a new tang stamp for me .. the "G.Shrade" in an arch over "Knife Co" in an arch over "B'PORT,CT.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Doing what you do .. you've probably taken one apart. It was the first time I'd seen a bushing used around the pivot point. Have you ever replaced the scales on one ??</p>
