I'll keep a lookout for some brass/loads around here for a while, and some locals that will keep an eye out for me. I have 0 experience in either brass forming or casting, so I don't think I'll try that yet. I imagine dies will be tough to find, too. gnoahhh, I'll keep the brass in mind.
I admit that I was a little hesitant to buy it. It has old repaired cracks on both sides of the tang. But it is the first engraved 1899 that I've seen up here, so this time, it's mine.
