Yours looks just grand so it does

but, I thought the marks in the long bit were done with a long pear shader, a P367, or a P208 ground narrower on the fat end

Thank ya Sir! Ya that's basically what I used (p367) but from the pictures I can find that arn't super grainy some of the leaves looks like it has what I did and some are completely shaded in. maybe they are alternated? I cant really tell, just shooting from the hip

I think it looks great even better than the original.

it looks awesome as other have said its as good or better than the original and heads above the other repro's. other folks have the same pics as you to look at so they wont be able to tell of any difference between the two.

appreciate that...im kind of a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this so when I'm done I can say, I couldn't have matched it any closer. Best I have found, looks like I'm close, but its 3 pear shaders close together. i see the decorative cuts as well. Charles Bronson had the same hat band.. Bronson's pictures are way better, thank God for reused movie props.

Also saw this photo, but Bronson's are pretty clear.

Edit also to say, there are some fantastic photos on this website specifically of the hat band, and the history of the hat.
