Cracking find Kev never even heard of a 387,never mind getting them split canes valued, get em out and bend em cant beat it,bought one a few year ago on fleabay,nothing celubrious,was going to mount it and display...had to have a go first though...heavy to say the least but a nice action,good feel to it and a real sense of "nostalgia"about it,cant help but sit there whilst using it ,wondering what adventures it had been on with its previous owners ATB Dave 1 Quote Link to post
