UBB.threads Forums General Interest Restoration, Conservation, and Maintenance Forum Chainned SS Links

Hi all

I recently bought a M36 SS dagger with Type 2 solid nickel silver links. The dagger is basically untouched, all the Rune and Skull links are there and in good shape, but some of the nickel joining links are badly damaged and one is missing.

Does anyone know if replacement links are available anywhere??? failing that, has anyone ever had links made up to perfectly match the originals? Does anyone havy any lying in the bottom of their toolbox I've checked on TJ's site but nothing

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks, Red

Hi Red
Its always prudent to write TJ as many items are not on his web site. Also worth writing to Bill Shea, "The Ruptured Duck" I have picked up spare links etc from Bill over the years.
Cheers John
PS hope you are looking after that Chained NSKK I sold you.

Don Swanson in MO does superb work in that area. I will try to find his contact information and post it here.

Thanks Guys!!!

I'll send an e-mail off and and hope for the best.

Grumpy, I'd appreciate Don's contact info if you can track it down...

John, still have the NSKK, she's quite happy, play with her often

Cheers, Red

I have not been in touch with Don for a while. The info I have for him is: Don Swanson, 5140 N. Highway PP, Columbia, MO 65202-8262, telephone (573) 474-8003. Don is very nice and does superb restoration work.
