Upper bracket for dial sight case is now made. 20160412_145550-resized-1024.jpg 20160412_145506-resized-1024.jpg So are the brackets for attaching the rule to upper shield section. 20160412_150540-resized-1024.jpg The leather straps I ordered from a manufacturer in UK, have now arrived. I was starting to get nervous about their absence. They were well overdue on expected delivery date, but I am quickly learning Australia Post are much slower now than they used to be. I did a lot of looking for my footman loops, and cannot locate them, so I ordered another batch of 10. Now they are ordered, the others will probably emerge from the Bermuda triangle located somewhere in the workshop.

These little buggers won't be falling off their bracket/s. I added the wrinkling for added patina. By buying each strap in 18" length, without tongue holes, one piece cuts apart and does both sides of the bracket, with a few inches discarded. I'll be taking Mother shopping tomorrow, and will look for a nice dark brown polish to artificially darken the leather a bit more. I will order more of the same width straps in different lengths, for other tasks later on. The seller/s are very easy to deal with, and actually care about the customers. Refreshing, in these days.
