Re: Information on Alfredo Privitera Catania?
Are you fixed on a Privitera, Diego?
I realize it is more difficult these days to ship to the US from the UK or the continent, but some sellers do...at least if you are willing to go the Ebay route.
As we've discussed here for years, that can be a dicey way to go, but with all the seasoned eyes here, vetting something isn't quite as risky as it might otherwise seem.
Contacting our good friend, John Maddock, who repairs and restores Italian bowlbacks down Cornwall way is another option.
He goes by Tavy, here, and while we haven't seen him in a bit, I'll bet he's still active and does superb work and is quite knowledgeable about bowlbacks in general.
It might take a bit of time, but you'll find something you like if you are patient and keep your eyes wide.
Keep us posted on your search.
