Hi all,
Random bit of guidance needed - I thought I'd ask here as there may well be some handy metalworkers in the gun world.
My fiance bought me an old hipflask - it's a beaut, glass and leather but the bayonet cap is broken and I'm looking for someone who can fix it.
Basically there are two problems:
1) the captive lid which should spin doesn't (it just needs releasing)
2) The little nob of metal which the bayonet should engage with and cinch on to is missing altogether. It should be a little square or dot of metal on the rim (like the one on the link below) but's gone entirely.
Any suggestions or contacts would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
