I've been working on these two for about a month and I'd given up.
It just wasn't going to happen.
Yesterday the seller pops back up and they're being shipped today!

7 1/8, Jim

A Dobbs Very Very Light OR clone! But that’s where the good news ends, it’s only a size 7 3/8 and there is more than a little moth damage. I bought it just to experience the felt.

Cool. A couple of mine are 7 1/8, but they fit pretty well. Hopefully, this one will be a bit roomy and you won't need too much work from Ignacio. I dig the vents.

Very very light, or so I’ve read in old posts.
