I would certainly want the job done right ... would you think shipping it off to an expert in the UK would be unreasonable? I do know of a very experienced metalsmith not too far away, I will consult with them as well ... also plenty of antique stores around, but it's likely there is little experience amongst them with slopes of this caliber. </p><p><br /></p><p>TBH I'm embarrassed to say the asking price was "$200 or best offer" ... I added $50 for the accompanying fitted wood stand (not original I'm sure), plus shipping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
