The price was very low as it needed repair to the hinge, which kept popping out.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first, I thought I would put it in my junk silver box for melting, but I looked online and I saw that it might be worth repairing. Gulp. It needed a new hinge that cost 10 times what I paid for it, and 65% more that its melt value. I couldn't throw it away though, so I'm hoping it has history. The photos of the marks are pitiful. Sorry. I tried and tried.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]409425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]409431[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
