Thanks Foxnut, will do. Checking should have started yesterday or maybe today. Then it will be waiting on the engraving. That probably won’t get started for another 3-4 months.

This from my Smith today.

Everything is cut. I will point the diamonds and deepen the boarders after the finish is done.

Coming along and looking very nice! Do my eyes deceive me, or did your smith add side clips? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that done. Thanks!

Good eye, he did add them. Probably not needed, but something he wanted to try. I think he did a nice job on those as well.

Also added rebates to the frame like most XE's have. Matthew knows metal work well.
