	Rettberg & Lange 18" pot, neck may be a transplant on this banjo-guitar.	18" pot dwarfs my 12" pot Gretsch banjo-guitar.	OD pot wall = 18", dia across top of tone ring is ~ 17"
R&L tag, also shows the metal pin that locates/secures the tone ring	closeup of tone ring pin, also shows the heavy staple tone ring suspension	Head goes from tone ring to ring that rests on the shoes	Installing the head
Group photo, R&L on back left	Took two tries to get head right, still a couple of tiny puckers		Burro near Glendive
