I like the way the screw head slots all line up.......................

Does that happen in 'real life' ?

Many many years ago I was in the air cadets. Summer camp was usually at an RAF base where we got to fly in gliders and shoot SLR. We were housed in barracks that were inspected daily. The best barrack would get a prize - typically extra rounds on the range. Understandably competition was stiff ... so one year we removed all the brass screws from the light fittings above the beds, polished the heads and put them back with the slots all lined up.

Hi CW, i was yakking with a friend earlier on today and they just phoned me back, and according to her ,the Jim Lawrence stuff is mostly designed and made up for him to his designs so you may be a little hard pushd to find "matching" handles,especiall he wrought irongear!!! :-/

Firmstones in Warwick may be worth a look http://www.thefirmstonecompany.co.uk/

There is also a place called Courtyard in Henley in Arden but a bit pricey [url=www.courtyard-accessories.co.uk[/url]]www.courtyard-accessories.co.uk[/url] They even have a Leather Range which might excite Jerry :D
