Claw back from restoration

I just got my large Acheroraptor temertyorum digit II-3 killing claw back from the restorer. He added the missing 1/4” back on to the top of the articulating end and added the missing 3/4” of the tip. The rest of the claw is complete, as it was found nearly whole. It’s one of my prized possessions and I am so happy with the restoration work. The claw was found in Powder River County, Montana’s Hell Creek Formation.

Looks good! Any before photos?

Congrats! Henry's work is impressive as always. What a lovely claw.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Thanks guys!  The claw is 3 and 3/4” around the curve. Here’s a pic of the before pic...

Henry didn’t do the restoration work on this claw. But he restored this Acheroraptor hand claw I just got back. He’s extremely good!
