Although I am that rare person who could never get on with the internal configuration of the Winchester (sold it on pretty quickly), I have a Cavendish which has the same issue, and I love it the way it is, missing popper cover included. Also, I too love a good patina!David Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666284372233641276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-76418064560338268622022-12-02T09:36:35.236-05:002022-12-02T09:36:35.236-05:00Thanks for sharing.

I've recently bought a second Winchester which has its original popper and in low light situations it's slightly more difficult to locate the the black on black popper. I also feel that the contrast of exposed metal against the expanse of leather looks...cooler!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-68136971743881666682022-11-15T17:56:15.109-05:002022-11-15T17:56:15.109-05:00This a great anecdote, and I really enjoyed readin...This a great anecdote, and I really enjoyed reading it.

A note of caution around the masking tape - I found it could slightly damage the finish of the leather when removed, so would do without in future.gmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772023016889832202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-14399048518577476972022-11-10T18:30:23.175-05:002022-11-10T18:30:23.175-05:00What a wonderful post, Paul!

Here's a really easy and robust fix. Get hold of some coloured drawing pins/thumb tacks, pick out a black one (or colour of choice). Cut off the pin as close to the head as possible: I used the wire cutter on a small pair of needle-nosed pliers.
