Thank you Gary, and I don't see how you could go through life without owning at least one RFB.

 

cool red tip shave and pic Stuart,good morning..

 

i agree....i often wonder why they weren't replicated in later years..surely people noticed when the newer models came out..

 

Thank you, good morning to you.

Nice looking rfb Gary. Did those ball end handles have the same cracking problems as the american ones?

 

thank you Jim.no sir.i haven't seen any.the only cracked handle i had that wasn't an old type was a u.s. nos 1930 new lc federal set.

 

That's remarkable. I have yet to see a U.S. made NEW (or OLD for that matter) ball end handle without at least a hairline crack. I've read it's the result either of the original design or the manufacturing process. Yet ball end tech handles have no such problems.

 

ball end tech handles are made from solid brass and machined..my new lc handle was split in 2.only u.s ones it seems..
