    Found this in the UK. Looked like it had come off the Titanic or been sat on a beach for 30 years. Could only get the nickle to shine so much (2nd pic), so it was off for a re-plating. Aus249-659.jpg 20230121_175123.jpg Aus2493.jpg 20230121_174942.jpg 20230121_175003.jpg

    Nice! Who did the re-plating if you don’t mind me asking @Paul Wallis?

    Paul, It has certainly bought the shine back :thumbup:.
    Is it chrome or nickel?

    Excellent job. Stunning.

    I don't know if these were actually exported. Perhaps it was spirited out of the country. When it's my turn as Prime Minister this one will be on my list for recall. ;) Cheers.
