Oh yes, I managed to get one at last from the states take into account, the handle had some wood cracking around the ferrule. But I did remove a lot apart from two that was to deep.
This is how it arrived last week here in the UK
So I set to removing the old knot as it was to far gone, then a sanding all over to remove the dry coating that seems to have gone like a powder.
Very fine sanding of the knot ferrule then a Polish, then recoat the wood in Danish Oil and building the coats up until it has a glass-like shine. Then repaint the lettering and install a new Boar knot 24mm and reglue the ferrule back on now the wood has an all-over seal coat.
Now this is the end result A Rubberset 49/4 back in use, I will let you know how well it performs later on today
