Being the adventurous sort, I bid on a Springfield PSG in an auction at the other end of the country, and won it. It's just arrived and I am certain it's the same instrument that was advertised back in 2015 on this forum. Photos below if anyone's interested.

In that thread, the seller says that it had a complete overhaul with new undercarriage. It certainly doesn't look like any of the other Springfield mechanisms I can find photos of. Does anyone know the story behind this instrument? It is basically in good shape but could do with some fettling...

Hi Sam,
There was also an earlier post by Bob Adams in Sept. 2011. Worth checking it out, link below

I might have guessed!

Would you be willing to work on it, if I can get it to you?

I’ll give you a call later this week!
