[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 4527413, member: 360"]Just because I can't stand things looking ugly...I made one last final repair: [ATTACH=full]399780[/ATTACH] I used a TEENY TINY PAPER-THIN scrap of silver sheet to patch up the gap left at the bottom rim of the collar. It's simply slid in underneath the silver and pushed up into place to disguise the damage, but it's stuck in there real good, so it's not coming out for nothin'! From a distance, it's invisible, and up-close, it looks like a repair that might've been done at any time during the stick's history, so it blends in with the battered appearance...
