Terry, Our Broadwood sounds very much like the one you've encountered, and is # 9435. Says "Semi-Grand", and has (had) the metal-thread t-pins. Would guess it at 1850-70, just based on build and condition. Guy Nichols, R.P.T. Fort Stinkin' Desert, NM At 09:24 PM 9/9/00 -0400, you wrote: >"Drilled bridges similar to agraffes from1841".
