Pulled this out of a "cull" bin today. It's certainly not the most attractive example, which is probably why it ended up where I found it, but from a technical standpoint I think it still gets into the VF range. Your thoughts?   Colligo ergo sum

hi vf details with surface issues. Shame about the surfaces.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I would imagine even a long soak in mineral oil would do noting more than expose the porous surfaces, right? My curiosity is I wonder if that's a battlefield find?
Haven't heard that word in AGES! (Grungy) You're dating yourself Lucky, guess I am too!
