A great Job Detlef,

I too am having the ferrule restored on one of mine, a real old school silversmith who has bought back to life some real tragedies.

The craftsmen of the past who worked in these precious metals were often near blind by their mid 30's and the workmanship of some of the thinnest silver and gold that they did can't properly be replicated...their attention to detail is in many cases unsurpassed.
