Blackbriar 8,569 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Luck or expertise,Stig ? it was black silver usually go`s black and you can feel the difference in the quality and weight without revealing the hallmarks for everyone else to see--- once I spotted it I buried it at the bottom of the box I was going to pay upto quid for the lot so when I was the only bidder at a fiver I was more than happy So it owes more to sleight of hand and skullduggery?
