About 5-6 years ago I purchased one of the original C96 Turkish contract conehammers. It was not in the greatest shape but I couldn't pass up the chance to have one of these rarities in my collection. I know the purists on the site will cringe (perhaps understandably so), but I just sent it off to be restored to as near original condition as possible. My reasoning is that I will most likely never part with this Broom and I just wanted to to look nice again. When I get it back I will share photos here on the Forum. In retrospect I wish I had taken some "before" photos for comparison.
