In Response To: Re: what is it? ()

Mike, Your English is just fine.
We discussed the pot-marks, and the upshot is that thye were probably caused by sea water corrosion.

My best guess is that it's a 'large' logo bund that's had a hard life, got water damage/corrosion, probably why the tubes were replaced with brass & the wrong crown/pushers.
I'm not sure the hands are wrong, maybe it's the over exposed photo that makes them look worse than they are. In some photos online, other bund hands do appear large.
Too many 'don't knows' I guess, but it may fair better in the flesh, who knows.
