Not sure if this would be a repair or restore. It was taken apart, and a new bolster put on, cleaned up and my mark placed inside the pile liner, and new G10 scales put on. I had intended to remove the Swinden Pin, but it was tight so I decided to keep it. Any comments, advice welcome. Thanks to just bob for the bolster and red bone for the Case Barlow.

I would call that a nice restoration job!
Nothing changed except the handles (they won't stay good celluloid for ever)
And the missing bolster added!
Nicely restored!

Thanks to all, for the nice comments, it means a lot from you guys.
My next one is a Case, I think. It has good handles, but the sides have shifted somehow, hard to explain what I mean, but the pin would have to be bent. I hope all that it requires is take apart, cleanup, and reassemble. I will post pics when I get started.
Thanks again
