I apologise for not pointng out that the "scale" effect in the centre of the pan is in fact a VERY old repair. The overall patina of the whole pan is the same, so the scales have had a LOT of use since the repair. Those of you in "the know" will be aware that these are opium scales. Not mentioned before as I was not sure if the Forum allowed the reference.
Any offers Gentlemen?
