    Some times, the items made in China/Vietnam/Taiwan et cetera are for the named company but the second- or third - quality items, the ones that don't get through the quality inspection, are sold off cheap to the seller on ebay and TEMU
  10. Sorry to hear you broke a wing As chuck says; read books Eventually as the break heals you may get the use of your fingers again and you can do some sewing using a stitching clamp to hold the work
  11. I recently came across a link placed on this site for a well known German book on saddlery and tack in ebook/PDF form I'll try to find it again
  12. Could you not have the customer bring the gun to you and then make a pattern from it whilst he/she is there?
  13. @Sheilajeanne The machine has ' Bentalls Kingston on Thames ' which was a big department store in the south of England. So far I've not found a maker's name on it I can't decipher this on the front of the arm
  14. Here is how I'd do the repair; Drill out the screw hole to about 1/2 inch Cut a plug that size, or very slightly larger, from hardwood, across the grain Apply resin glue to the plug hole and hammer the plug in Cut a piece of metal about 2 inches long by 3/4 inch wide Drill 3 holes in the metal, along the length, 1 in the middle and 1 at each end. Make the holes just big enuff for screws to clear Place the metal over the plug. Centre it. Screw in screws of at least 1 inch length in the ends and drill a hole in the plug for your fitting If the metal can be on the surface use round head screws. If the metal has to be flush. chip out the area for the metal to be recessed and use counter-sunk screws
  15. Oh, that is really superb And No, it didn't take very long at all But shipping it to me will be very expensive However, I'd still like to buy it from you I'll PM (DM) you
