. I think you’ve done the right thing leaving tha patina on this one.

May I ask what you used as a clear coat? I’ve used penetrol for this in the recent past but I suspect it will need regular reapplication.

It’s a sobering thought that these things are now over 50 years old.

Well done again!

Cheers,
