This is a fairly close copy of an Oller key, first of the wonderful Nordic range of keys, most of the metalwork is done, I have tried to give the brass a semi vintage look, the two screws on the spring contact need replacing as they are a bit bright as does the spring but they are the fiddly bits to sort out later, the bearing block is just an imitation of the original sleeve bearing, inside this one are miniature quality ballraces, this is a really lovely key, it looks the part and has an excellent action, I've been using this key quite a lot recently, most of my keys are sold or for sale, but I'm having trouble parting with this one :()
And compare with the original inspiration :()
