Had a result with a £5 box of old tools from a garage sale. As well as several handfulls of Dormer drill bits there were these Moore and Wright combination sets, one complete and one missing the square.
The problem now is how to best clean them up. They have some light rust but mainly dark staining. My old gunsmiths technique of bronze wool and oil doesn't make much impression. The engraving seems quite deep so maybe I can use something more aggressive.
Anyone know it it's possible to get just a metric rule to fit?
