Somebody have a look at the crease at 1.oclock,, any need for concern. I'm not on this but a friend is looking seriously.

TFC -

Thanks for the post on this forum. I am indeed watching this one with intent - although it does have a metal cap which is putting me off somewhat.

So it went for 103GBP.
Is that a reasonable amount for a Crescendo?

Anyone here take it?
