I wouldn't worry about keeping the integrity of the original as it is already broken and not worth much as a collectible.Quantrilltoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824237942276969880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-28384162703066749142021-07-20T20:58:59.083+01:002021-07-20T20:58:59.083+01:00Dorset do spare horse legs.
