[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 4452619, member: 360"][ATTACH=full]383392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383394[/ATTACH] I think I shared one of these before. Anyway, here's the other one! I bought these two about a week apart, on eBay. The crosshatch one took a lot of flushing-out with WD40 before I could get it to work. It was CLOGGED with so much dust, gunk, crud, grime and grit that it was literally leaking out the back-end of it, and jamming the release-button at the top of the barrel. Flushing and diluting with LOADS of WD40 washed out the grime and dribbled it out and wicked it all away - even if it took a whole day to do - and now they both work perfectly! The smooth one is from 1912, the ribby one is from about 1920.[/QUOTE]
