Default Leicestershires good or bad
Hi All,

thoughts on this one please. I have a feeling bad, due to possible artificial aging to rear ? I would welcome pointers to look for on these.Not a problem with this one been bad, cost a couple of quid, but would like to know issues with it to watch out for in the future.

Cheers in advance,

Mark

The hue of the metal, the poor rear detail and the style of slider all scream modern to me. The artificial blacking is an alarm sign.

It does look quite new, still never mind, original examples are numerous and can be had for very little.
