Thanks Surpmill, I will give that a try. You can make the numbers out a bit better in the flesh, they look like 8461, 9461 or 2461....
Additionally there is a chest with it which I am test to see and only found out about after agreeing to buy it , apparently it is “falling to bits” but who knows maybe a label survives..
Out of interest do we think the lower fore stock is original?
The wood has been varnished, and is now a trifle chipped in places, leaving dry patches. I personally don’t like varnished wood.
I assume the wood in service would have just been oiled as per normal and the varnish is a post service addition. Assuming that to be the case and given the varnish is comming away and exposing rather dry wood I would like to strip it back. However I done what to remove more of the markings, thoughts?
