Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

That’s a fine image, Jack. Hopefully, you’ll figure out how to de-stink your Barbour. From what I’ve read, it’s the old wax that’s the prime suspect. Have you seen this site? https://www.waxjacketcleaningcompany.co.uk/ Hope this week you get a chance to smell the roses.
Thank you Harvey, yes, they reckon it can go rancid :( I'm grateful for that link, Barbour have their own service, but I've read mixed reviews. I'm not sure the cleaning involves de-toxifying though! 🤣 :thumbsup:
Good Morning Guardians

I recently acquired this little gem. It’s been heavily sharpened, but It looks like a Lambfoot, As always, Jack is the final authority.
That's an unusual and interesting knife Harvey, and I'd love to see more of it elsewhere, but I don't think it has ever been a Lambsfoot :(

Edit - Thanks for editing your post Harvey :) Here's what your knife originally looked like :thumbsup:

The watch in your photo is beautiful and those Smith's time pieces are highly collectable . The one pictured below was foe sale for more than 2000 British pounds and doesn't have the nice band that is in your photo nor is it in a fine a condition. Not that you would sell it but you might want to have it insured. Yeah, not many companies give out gifts such as that - just a swift boot in the pants.

Thanks Bill, I remember having it valued many years ago, and was surprised to learn that it was worth more than my Cartier. It has never been cleaned, but still keep perfect time :) After 50 years service, Ibberson's gave their head cutler a bottle of whiskey - he was a strict Methodist, and life-long teetotaller ☹️
Your jeweller was wrong! These are quite sought after these days. Is this a Dennison case?
Same movement in Astral suit. Ticks like... a Swiss clock! 😉

Thanks Alain, but the Smith's belonged to my maternal grandfather, while the OTHER watch belonged to my paternal great uncle. Two DIFFERENT watches my friend :) :thumbsup:
Great picture, Jack. 🤠 :thumbsup:
Glad you had a fun day yesterday.

I used Febreeze on my kid's football gear between practices during the week.
If anybody's had a kid that played football, you know it's about the most horrible stink imaginable.
Anyways, the Febreeze spray worked like a charm and allowed us to go a few days between washes.
Thanks a lot John, that sounds like strong stuff my friend :D I'll pick some up :) :thumbsup:
Good Morning Guardians... Beep Bop Boop
LOL! :D Cool pic :cool: :thumbsup:

Jack the 20 rounder is a 5,56x45. It feeds the ARM-9 series of AKs that Bulgaria rearmed with following them joining NATO. It’s a milled receiver modernized system. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Thanks for the info Pete, I haven't been able to do any shooting for years, but I still find it an interesting subject :) Nice photo of your Big 'Un :thumbsup:
 
Honestly the jacket needs to be outside in the sun and the fresh air for as long as possible. Putting it in a bag or bathroom, even with a window open, will only make it worse.
 
Thank you, Jack. :)
Just having a little fun on a Monday morning. ;)
I hope you have a good week John :) :thumbsup:

I only have a low garden fence, and if I leave it out, it'll get pinched. I'll see if I can get one of my mates to take it for a week :thumbsup:
I want to give a shout out to J jsdistin for his craftsmanship in modifying my two large lambs. They are now much easier to open with my arthritic hands. He also adjusted the springs on both as well. Another thanks to Jack for recommending him. His work and abilities are imho beyond reproach!
