Hi there. I'm kinda new to the hobby.
Anyhoo, I saw a pair of Darbies (repros) recently, and fell in love with 'em. They're so... solid.
So anyway, I understand that the modern reproductions are made from inferior metals, and that the keys are prone to stripping. This is a bad thing. I'd like to get the originals, but (despite how common they're supposed to be), I can't find any.
Sooooo... Anybody know where I can find a decent-looking, functioning pair of Darbies for a reasonable price? :)
Thanks in advance,
