While We are talking about lpi on different grades, I have a GH grade that I need to eventually restock and there is none of the original checkering left on the stock. Someone sanded it down way too far.
What is the correct line spacing on a GH? If I remember correctly, mine is 1902 or so. Damasucus Gun. Also, at what grade level did they start using a 90 degree cutter with fully pointed up diamonds originally? Last edited by Brian Dudley; 08-15-2011 at 04:56 PM.. |

For what it's worth for those who don't checker I think the 3 1/2 and 2 Brad is referring to is the length of the diamonds to the width, as in a ratio of 3 1/2"X1", and 2"X1" and the 90 degrees is the included angle of the "V" groove of the checkering as opposed to the 60 degree angle used in many early doubles having "flat" or unpointed checkering that didn't come tp a peaked diamond. Am I asumming right Brad? I certainly didn't mean to snatch a thread from the Master!!!! Lee.
