I just went to an antique store and didn’t find anything for a while but spotted a small box with some patches. I started looking through them and found some really nice ones. When I asked the lady at the front how much they were she said the owner was gone but she said she could do $5. I asked if it was 5 dollars each but she said in total. I immediately paid and kept looking around. I didn’t see anything else which was a good deal but did see some nice items. When looking at some of the patches she said that her dad served in the Korean War and that she was selling them cheap as she wanted someone to take care of them. To be clear, these were not her fathers but she just wanted these to be respected. Also, who says there are no good deals left! -

Well here it is. All parts I planned on buying for this build are now assembled. there are still some tweaking I can do. And someday if I strike gold in the back yard, I’d like to get some more of the internal parts. I’m thrilled that it’s “done”, but at the same time totally depressed. We have some family events coming up soon, so time and $ for a new project won’t happen for a while. Mikie -

Thanks. I spilled more than enough last week trying to drill out the plugged firing pin hole. -

I have an old Marbles Ideal with 5 1/2" blade 10" overall length, with stag pommel, leather stacked handle with 6 red nylon and 13 brass spacers, brass half guard and Hallmark reads made by W.L. Marbles Gladstone MI in 2 lines using small block letters. I'm thinking it's an Ideal made at his factory circa. 1899-1901 I'm a historian but, not a expert with Marble's knives and I'm having difficulty finding anything close that matches this knife and was wondering if someone here might have more information about the history as I've hit a dead end it seems. -
