    hi folks

    found this in a charity shop today for very little, think its got a quite nice look to it

    guessing 70s or 80s ?

    cant see any makers marks on it

    probably a long shot, but any help with possible maker or origin would be a great help

    any thoughts or info appreciated

    To my eye, it's newer. But let's see what others say.

    how about this for a turn of events, gotta go to casualty as i think i ve broke my wrist, swelled up bad on that ring hand, so might have to have the ring cut off

    unbelievable coincidence, but no joke i can assure you :(

    One way to get the ring off, but not a recommended one.

    just a sprain thank god, and the ring remains

    my nephew (who's a bit special ;)) only 7 but built like a brick **** house

    caught me off guard with a jumping piggy back attempt

    i went flying and landed on my wrist that bent right back

    i preferred it when he just thought he was a dinosaur :)

    well i've just had a phone call from the hospital, after the xrays were reviewed by someone else, it does seem i have a break which i'm shocked about
    first time ive ever broken anything
    its my guitar fretting hand which is why i am concerned now.
    i nearly put the phone down straight away as i thought it was another nuisance call ;)

    yeah i reckon so buddy, as the lady on the phone said what i was given wasn't sufficient, waiting for another ring back

    the pain is nothing though, compared to neuralgia i get in my jaw from time to time this is about a 1
