Ric Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 How common are ground pontils on typical German swirl types? If possible, pics would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Here Ya go Ric... Each Mib had two pontils, one on each pole... One pontil was ground and the other pinched... Hope the pic helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I think ground pontils are a little less common than regular ones -- they seem to be older, and a little more expensive to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Grinding a pontil is an extra step. Other extra steps could be roundness or quality of construction etc. Ton's were made, but as far as availability I'd say less common.
