Cheers Murdock. Actually got two items from DS last week. One brand new at an eye watering cost shipped from the states and a second one described as slightly rusty. Unfortunately this one was also cracked (easy to miss to be fair) and the new one has a nasty chip in the chrome right on my eyeline. Unfortunately I’ll be returning both and resorting to my original plan.
I’ll repair them myself: de-rust, chrome strip and then try to find a caroming service at a reasonable price.
