KBzPTGT- That'll last forever! Is it a Model#5?

 

[KBzPTGT]

I guess it's a model 3?

I guess it's a model 3?

Ah, yeah! The patent was only pending when that one was made too.

And hey I really like the DIY engraving, just adds something IMO. Man, the stuff that polisher has done....

VERY. COOL. UNIT.

 

[KBzPTGT]

My BiL owns a brass and copper polishing/antique resto shop. He can polish a turd to look like a fine cut diamond. I'm going to see if he can help with this.

 

[Accumulator]

I myself would *not* polish it; I'd be all about it's patinated, "used a lot" look. Eh, I'm kinda nutty that way...
