Thanks Brian,
The upper tang was drilled and the material from the extension filled into the tang, then polished in two spots (you can seen them if you look closely in one of the pics). It's amazing to see the work that was done on the "repairs" to this gun. How they did the work on the tang extension without removing the engraving is hard to figure. The trigger-plate work is similar but less baffling. Still the work is very precise. The repairs, while not perfect, are not the run of the mill home repair; especially considering the damage that had been done. Whomever did this repair work knew their way around a metal shop. Funny how it used to be requisite knowledge to understand and know how to fix things.
