Thanks for the pictures. Does anyone have detailed photos of the aperture and especially the channel for the slider? It's hard to tell from the photos, but it appears as if the dovetails on the slider of the reproduction are much more pronounced than on the original. It's beautifully fabricated, I just wish they'd made the rear crescent-shaped piece horizontal like the gastraphetes rather than vertical. So close....
