Brescia renovation

Hello all,
I've been out of contact for a while as my partner Julie has been in intensive care for 25 days with kidney failure, so I've been very busy back and forth to hospital.
Today I decided to take my mind off things by continuing with a bit more restoration.
My Brescia is coming along nicely, thanks a lot to the generosity of BOCN members.
Has anyone got a ring pull for sale, as you can see from the pics, mine is in a very poor state. A repro would be ok, I can catalogue it as such? Would also appreciate any info on correct colours for re-paint?
Best regards,
Guy.

Hi Guy,
Our best wishes to your partner on a speedy recovery, your restoration is looking really good , I am sure you will be able to get a replacement pin. Your item is a Brixia and not a Bresica, the latter being a handgrenade also known as the red devil as far as I know. Best regards Weasel.
 
Thanks to all for your kind wishes and info. It's good to have so many friends at this difficult time.
Very best regards,
Guy.
