Seems you have scored a nice piece of gear. Retry the Google as there is information and parts available. Good luck.

Mittler Brothers now owns the rights to the Beverly Shears and supports all versions. Blades are not cheap, but they can be sharpened and with a little care, a Beverly will last multiple generations in even a production shop.

Don't know the Evansted or whatever that is, but Beverly Shear is a huge name in the industry.

-Have used similar models, found them to be a great addition to any shop. Be careful not to discolor the cutting edges when sharpeni9ng or you'll ruin the temper. Post how you'll sharpen this if you want advice. Wish I had one, hope you enjoy yours.

Bad news. I thought that I was getting it but now owner of scrap yard wants me to restore it and he will be putting it in his shop! I guess that's fine as we are friends and I have gotten my fair share of things that are scrapped. Thanks for the replies which will help me in resto
