Have you seen there is a "Dorset" on there with a split ferrule? Could also be a bargain if you can repair yourself I guess?

Ive had one of these on my stall in near mint condition for the last 7 outings the price was £15 only one person as looked at it and the dealer offered a mere £5 it still retains its orginal bag with the F.T Williams Logo. I Declined the offer (was told it was all there worth) but ive heard that before only to find them priced upto 6 times my asking price down at Romsey . I paid £8 for it at a car boot sale.
I decided that it was worth giving it a go and took off the stall i shall use it next outing.
