Thanks chaps by the way I am not the seller just in case I have no idea if they are on the same par value wise.
Those light beech grips were very common to us. But as for that special forces thinned down blade twaddle on the other one....... Where do they get these inventive people from. They must scour la-la land for people who can invent this horse shi....., er horse manure! I think that there was a thread running about these figments of someones vivid imagination some time ago
The cross pieces did break occasionally and if it was just one snap it could be repaired quite easily but if the ring snapped off, it was scrap, even if you had the broken part.
Would it be a case of welding a break/cracked cross piece, Peter, if the break was in the position shown in picture 4?
I can't see where it's cracked in this case but we could and would weld up a broken/cracked crosspiece. Grind out a vee and send it down to the welders. It's just mild steel in any case. Make good and send through the phos and black plant
Isn't this a crack?Quote:

There is no welding.
It looked to me as if there may be a little welding near the handle but not much.
I'd like to strip it and have a real look.
