Better call NCIS and bring Abby into the case to run the frame's DNA...
oldskool, I have what I think fits that description. It's hanging out for the clear to dry to dry before it gets shipped back to me. It was a rescue project as well but two very respected frame builders have seen and worked on the frame and neither could say for certain from whence it came. The most interesting guess was someone building with nice parts and handy advice that was 'pre-Paterek'.
