I believe Mann made the original Norlunds.
Collins made "Genuine Norlund".
If you like Norlund, you'd love the Mann's (especially the Knot Klippers which were their top of the line).

If I'm not mistaken, I was the one that sent you the link to those 2.
Ever find any handles?
Did you ever talk to Scotty about handles?

If not War Years, those old Elwells have some great steel from what I've read.
