Dom,
The Geo. Bishop handle does resemble the No.7, but I think it is Bishop's copy of the Disston D8 with 5 screws. Does it have a cover top? The No.7 doesn't. What makes those handles more comfortable is there is an absents of nooks and crannies along the top.
Nice looking handle, but the end grain glue joint on the upper horn is not the best kind of joint in that situation.
