[javi_e]

Hi friends,

here is my first schinkel, it arrives today. As you can see it´s dirty and not in mint condition, any idea how can i clean it?
It have black color on the frame who it goes scratching with the finger. Is it dirt or a repainted black core?
It is non magnetic, what maker?

thanks!!!!

A great looking Schinkel, and I am glad you'll leave it as it is, because she is a beauty!

That's a great, early piece. Congratulations!
