While on the road to pick up the two GrandBRATS, stopped in a little store in Brandt,OH.
Lots of rusty and krusty stuff on the shelves.....most I either had one of, or just plain junk...however..

Steel ferrel instead of brass..

This was where the bevel was. It was a bit crooked, too. Hopefully, I have it straightened out.
For 75 cents...I think it just may do...
BTW: total length of this chisel is a nice 11-3/4" from washer to bevel's edge. just a little one
