I've had this one for a long time and finally got around to stripping it down and restoring it. Unfortunately (as is usually the case) I forgot to take "before" shots, with the exception of the crappy ebay photo. Anyway, here it is, prior to honing. Before:

If anyone has info as to a manufacturer that would be awesome. Also, does anyone have experience with tarnishing on large brass parts like this? I was wondering about lacquering to prevent that.
