Anyway no complaints re having to pay this time. I have had a few items come in from abroad that I haven't been charged for previously, and they all had full declarations on them.
Basically, I'm still quids in.
Minor points on the Livi-
A small pitting/casting mark still visible on the spine.
The scales haven't been finished properly. They are cut from a single piece of wood and it is apparent that the cutting blade has gone in at two different depths.
