    Thanks for looking!
    I just looked around a little more and see I could have got one in mint condition for not much more money - I'll probably end up purchasing a better one very soon I bet!
    Best regards

    It's worth cleaning it though, I would at least stop the rust

    Hi Vint/Skip,

    Vint-just be wary of these as these are heavily faked. At least the rusrted one has some real history behind it ;-))

    True as Skipper said, try cleaning it a bit to help stop its deterioration.
