Hi Macaroon It's a false assay mark!! It just says WR then two stars then S.. I've given the sheath knives a bit of a clean and polish now and they look better now but the bottom one of the two had some sort of a spacer to fill a gap between where the ricasso should be and the guard which i've...

Hi all I bought a cell for the watch, it was a pretty rarely used 616 cell rather than the 'common as muck' 626!! I polished the case and bracelet with my Dremel and it came up a treat!! I'm going to have top remove the movement to clean the dial and inside of the crystal as there's...

Hi I think those that can't read it must be illiterate :p John :)

Try filing it!! If it files easily then it will most likely be mild steel, if it skates across without biting then it will be carbon steel and good for an axe ;) John:)
