Oh man, Shagbd, don't forget who your friends are around here.

That color is amazing and by the looks, very well taken care of. And it's an older Morgan!

Shagbd....I am blown away with your commitment to this hobby. WOW!!! When did you get your IOAB May? And now you have a world-class collection. If I tried that I would be in divorce-court. Again a darken another shade of green from envy.

That IS an unusual wrist-loop. Is it meant to be like that?

Yup!

Paul sent me the original order form that the original owner received from DM..... specifically requesting a special wrist loop.

My guess is DM just used one of these on it: http://www.davidmorgan.com/product_info ... 5645861e9c

well as much as i hated to do it, the fall needed replacing.
luckily, to my surprise, Morgan still sells heavy Redhide falls just like the one on this one.....
so i ordered a few from Morgan and they came in today..

with tears in my eyes, i cut away the old one and replaced it with a brand new greasy DM redhide fall!

the thing looks brand new now!
