Well it made it. Here are some pics for comparison to the NWTF/Primos Gibson Copy. the original has much thinner sides and paddle.

Awesome. How does it sound?
Very cool! Thank you for sharing
Not the greatest sound but after playing with it a bit I believe I can call a turkey with it.
very nice, Thanks for sharing..
that's interesting. Always wondered how good the old calls sound in comparison to modern custom calls. I expect early call makers had access to better old growth wood - maybe?
They might have had better wood but call makers learned a lot from the time of the original Gibson call. My humble opinion but the best calls have all been built in the last 40-50 years. Some of the newer calls are as good as it gets.

Very true. Plus turkeys and turkey hunters weren't as picky then.....oh, and we didn't have the internet ;D
Regardless, that a cool piece of call maker history.....the old with the new. Thanks!!!
