This one had an awfull varnish, apparently made by an amateur and the briar behind had already been sanded down, the stamp was already faded.
To remove this sticky gunk, I had to sand the head pipe with grit 60! You can not imagine the work to catch all the claws ... 8O
Here now rejuvenated, prints did not survive a second sanding but it features more envious with honey tones (click photo to access the gallery)
