A Great Greaves!
Found this nice Greaves last night for a great BIN, 7/8 with a thumb notch...can't resist a Greaves, and can't resist a thumb notch.
Looking forward to restoring this one and bringing it back to life.

The seller sent me a message after I purchased it, was his grandfather's, told him I was going to restore it and would send him pics if he liked. Seller was a super nice guy, a real gentleman.

There's a crack in the scales I'm told...would also like to know if the scales are original...if they're original, I will keep them. Originally Posted by Hirlau
