What bar is this?

Postby Tony Russell Davis » Thu Sep 09, 2021 11:47 am

Here's an old bar I've had for ages, can't even remember who gave it to me. I haven't used it because I like a bullet nose, but this week decided to polish out the (shocking) abuse it had suffered before my time!
Having started to work out stuff on a 6 string far-eastern modern Regal (heavily improved with Beard spider, Replogle cone, cover-plate with removeable hand-rest - sounds great!) and thought I'd at least try out a "railroad" bar.
So, does anyone know the brand? It has what looks like a Viking ship on each end and it's plated (what's left of it) brass.

Found it - the logo is "Saga" who import instruments, e.g. Regal, from the east. I suppose the Viking ship represents a Norse Saga! (remember "Noggin-the-Nog" anyone?)
