Thanks.

Oh, I'm new to the forum, hi.

Congratulations on your new acquisitions. That will be a Belgian Coticule my friend. Definitely worth the time and effort to lap to a usable state.
See www.coticule.be/ for stacks of great info about your new hone.

Cheers

Thank you sir. I guess even a blind hog can find an acorn every once in a while.
