    Default new milners and some questions

    Hi guys. i founded a very cool milners old safe in central Paris, something that I would have never thought of finding so close to me. a sympathetic old lady sold it and told me the history : buy by this gran-grand father new and always use by men in his family. for this one sure i didn't do repaint, just a cleaning and perhaps a varnish but no more. after consider safeman advice, i am now convicted by something very close to original condition, thanks for that monsieur !
    curiously this one has been the hardest to move. i was very optimist but i was wrong. an half day work to load it. my other milners and the big chubb was larger and i think heavier but this one..... probably the round corner/slick surface.. anyway i am very happy and damn it i am a big fan of milners, they have un je ne sais quoi.
    if a cool safe lover is here and can give all detail i will be the happiest man for this week end. the pull brass handle is broke and missing so i research one, offers welcome, the lock lever have a unpleasant shaft play : i tried to remove it to fix by outside but the screw come and the lever don't, i let it as this for now. original keys come with and the number of the safe engraving on the upper pivot is : 101174AF2160, the rear door panel seem to be in original condition and never open.

    merci beaucoup.
