Eric Stahlhut Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 fortunately, this type of kmst has a pretty straight-forward type of pin. it would be easy to have a replacement made (sans hallmarks) if i so chose. however, the hinge assemblies on these are so finely done, any repairs would be quite evident, and i am averse to having this done. i will most likely leave it in it's current state.
Glenn R Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I agree, I'd leave it well alone. This is the state in which it has survived and any repairs would be a detraction. It's not as if its going to be worn again. Nice display piece though, lovely core. Glenn.
gregM Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Eric, Even with the broken pin, that is a nice cross and a hard to find variation. One that I'm still looking for.
Danny70 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Eric, I'd certainly leave it as it is. It still looks good and will fill a gap until you manage to find an undamaged one. Regards - Danny
joe campbell Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 kind of like seeing a CHERRY '57 chevy without an engine..... sigh... :blush:
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I suppose it was an "Oh Sht!" moment for the guy who broke it...
