Case Muskrat
Case Muskrat
Some of you may remember my search for some period Case redbone and shield for this muskrat. Thanks to those who tried to help me out!

Anyway, I was finally successful in locating a couple junker 6275 patterns, which I was able to re-purpose the mark and pile sides from. Not horribly easy fitting those scales to the pin-holes and cutouts on an existing frame, but it turned out okay. I purposely left things a little rough, didn't want to take away too much from the original look.
I did a light rust removal on the blades, but was able to maintain the patina.

Re: Case Muskrat
Nice work. I bet it was fun hunting for the parts you needed. I enjoy the hunt as much as repairing.
Re: Case Muskrat
Looks really great. Just the right touch leaving some patina.

Re: Case Muskrat
Thanks everyone, I'm happy I was able to save a family heirloom for someone. It's not OEM equipment, but it's pretty close.
