well done. I knew you would do it fine...now if I could get a bayonet adapter(s), I'd ask Ryan make me some too.

Does anyone know what type rivets are used to attach the shield.... brass or steel...?

what type rivets are used to attach the shield

For all the world, I thought they were electro spot welded? Permanent fixture...

[Madcap]

You may be correct. I thought I'd seen some that were riveted but they may have been repros...

[Madcap]

After studying a few original examples I'm pretty confident they were riveted. What I'm not sure of is if they were also silver soldered and the heads dressed down because the edge appear too uniform..

The drawing’s done and filed. I’d be happy to send it to anyone that wants it.

The laser cutter, SendCutSend, is super easy to order from.

I'm really pleased with how finished it looks.

You should be! A couple more tweaks and you’re there.
I’m impressed!

Really only thanks to your interest and generosity has this been anything at all. It's been interesting and a good learning experience for me and I'm looking forward to doing some refining when I can get to it.

Only thanks to your interest and generosity could it have gotten anywhere at this point. It was a bit intimidating for me to start on it without more tools but as it turns out I had all that was needed and has been a satisfying learning experience. It reminded of my dad working in his basement shop most nights after work years ago. I think I must have inherited that part of his DNA.

I'm treating this first piece as a trial and look forward to some refining on the next one. As a note I think the one longer flat may be a more correct length but I want to see how the next short piece turns out first.
