Re: Corner Tang or No Corner Tang ! Found this today and its BOTHERING ME!!!!
Well I'll be tanged!!
That is as close as one can git with out actually bein one.
I think it is a coulda, shoulda, woulda.
Coulda been one if they had kept workin it.
Shoulda been one cept they quit workin it.
Would been one had they not stopped workin it.
Now you know what a coulda, shoulda, woulda is.

This is the only picture I could find but here is my cornertang top row bout 4 from the right. Terrible quality but not sure what else too call it. It may be as close as some of us come to the real stuff.
Dang tough call! I would say yeah though, looks to me like that back edge has been resharpened enough to take a little depth out o that notch. Kinda sucks you didn't find it before the fredricksburg show, I'm sure you know any of the "experts" would have loved to give an opinion lol.
Life is NOT fair ..The backstory on this find will always be an Irksome memory for me..
I just finished a full one and a half hours work enlarging that hole..with ZERO finds ,,, I finally opted for a try at a new site. shortly Badger said " do you mind if I peck around your old spot ? "
I said, " no feel free but take note that on the right side I have been finding a LOT of good flakes and not deep. "
Well: on her FIRST peck with that stupid "nail on a stick " pecker she uses...BINGO ( on the right side ! )
She's already got TWO certified Corner tangs..I have NONE.. ...I certainly better deserved that "near miss" CT
