321Higgins (1923) ENDFINISH (2)FINISH: Right hand palm leftward placed across wrist of left hand whose palm is inward toward the right; right hand is moved along edge of left hand to end of fingers and then straight down.59hsldb.georgetown.edu/books/book-window.php?id=321&refid=higgins1923

12Long (1918) ENDHAVE, FINISHED HAVE, FINISHED, auxiliary of the complete tenses: Hold the left "B" hand in front, palm to self and end pointing toward the right; upon its upper edge place the right "B" hand, pointing out, and the little finger edge resting on the forefinger near the knuckle; scrape along the edge of the left hand with the right, and when the end of the left hand is reached, let the right drop down directly with a "chopping off" motion. The usual way is to give only the right hand a downward "cut" across the end of the left. Note: The colloquial and by far the most common method of rendering the sign for "finished" is to hold the right open or "5" hand out in front from the side and give it a flip toward the right, with a twist of the wrist so the palm is turned down. In indicating the complete tenses first sign "have" as for "possess," then give the sign for the verb, and last the sign for "have" or "finish" as above.
