Hello Dennis, Please check out Barry Lawman's website, for starters. www.cumberlandroots.co.uk He has been very helpful to me. Also one by Les Strong. Sorry I have lost his site address, due to a computer crash. I am sure that you will hear from SKS in Cumberland, who would be very willing to help you. They are a wonderful bunch! Best of luck with your search. Regards, Marjorie in NV.
