Hand Fabricated Gibson Mando Tailpiece Cover Nickel

Ron was making these mandolin covers for different people before he passed. 
He left a couple of them on his bench.
I don't know as much about these as everything else...
I know he preferred to make them to specific instruments, as the originals were always a little different.
Let me know if you have any specific questions if you need details about the piece.
Completely hand made. Hand cut from sheet, hand folded on edges, hand engraved.
