Hi!
I have found this metal Link. I don't know how old it is (and really don't care much), but it seems to be larger than what is made today and the facing number is on the shank. Plating is in terrible condition, but there is only a small patch in front of the bite plate where brass shows. The tip rail has several very small scratches/nicks. The end of the shank is also scratched and out of round.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Can these things be repaired and a playable piece made out of this?
2. Can it be made into a 6* with a bit more roll over baffle? It is a 7* now.
Just curious as to whether it is worth it to try to salvage the piece or if it should be laid to rest.
Thanks!
