I would love to know what you guys think of this one.
Assuming it all starts by its age, what would you say; old, very old, recent, very recent... The first two pictures show how it was before i gave it some (hopefuly) non invasive cleaning with penetrating oil and a super soft brass brush. Rust came off in lose particles, but also in the form of some entire layers from its interior; only one bit is left. I don't know what to think of that upper rivet, that shines white. The spherical (ball) point is secured with a rivet (nail), not just attached by pressure. Those two (sort of) hooks would be for securing the body plates ... Your comments ill be so much welcome ![]() , |
