Hi guys,

Found this lovely unused Monofil 25M here in the U.K. recently.

Did the usual strip, clean and polish as I have been taught by all you good people, and it really shines.

The first photo is as it came, the next two cleaned and polished, and the last back together and buffed (hope the photos post as it has been a while!)

Could someone please tell me the approximate age of it.

Thanks,

Mike.

U.K.
