sadly last week a friend of mine , poor old 'rascal_2005' shot his fork off,weve all been there over the years and given he's a good mate i asked him to return it and i would replace it for him,when it arrived i inspected it,and sure enough he had shot it of better than ive ever seen! particularly sad it was too as he had attached a really nice pewter badge to the handle,so i set about adding it to the new hunter Catapult and so as to be sure that the badge didnt catch in his pocket and rip off i carved out the badge shape into the handle to countersink the badge and heres the result,might do one for mself!




i hope he's happy with it ,will post today(8 mile cycle in rain! )

I am, and be assured I meant no infringement on your business, especially as it is your means for your family.

Very nice!

That looks the business Fish!!

I think a hare or a lurcher badge would suit you down to the ground

[GreyOwl]

Wow, very nice work. I appreciate the touch of mystery in it.

looks great. I have shot a couple forks off myself

[SickPythons]

Very nice. I like the inlay and the color.

[hunterich]

Such a thing of beauty, the pheasant is a lovely addition. It'd be nice also for a roe deer on there instead.

Nothing better than seeing a true work of craftsmanship. Very, very nice.

[Aeroflot]

What a lovely catty that is.

I can imagine a whole range of badge inlays you could do! Great idea, and the countersink looks good too!
