I asked for some help IDing a Simpson I won on dbay -
here is the pic I bid on:
The brush came today - here it is after some cleaning (and sanitizing):
I have mixed first impressions - although it was apparently not ridden hard, it was put away wet - in a particular spot, the hair was quite brittle and there was some serious shedding there (although the knot itself seems intact) - here's the bald spot and the knot, which looks pretty full:
Dimensions: 23mm knot; 50mm loft; the handle is 55mm tall.
The label is nearly intact (indicating that the brush wasn't used much);
with my sh*tty camera & technique, you can't read engraved above the label "M7" (or maybe V7) and underneath, "best badger." It looks like V7 to me, but my sweetie and her son - with their two pairs of younger eyes - see "M7."
Is anyone aware/familiar with this brush, or with a Simpson designated M7 (or V7)?
Any help appreciated!
