There’s a George & Manby Cocus wood flute with silver keys on E-bay now. Buy it now £1,350.
"Expertly restored to working order. Tuning button/slide was missing and new one manufactured to match original style. All keys freed and repadded where appropriate.Joints rethreaded Keys for low C# and C mechanism functions correctly, but may need slight adjustment to achieve good seal (not achievable at my level of play) Headpiece and slide section filled after split, now fully playable.See photos for minor scratches, to be expected with an instrument of this age and distinction.”

looks to be a nice flute but I feel I don’t like the way it has restored.
Yeah, “Fully restored” is not an accurate description, at all. “Repaired”, possibly,
assuming those poorly glued cracks don’t leak. Seller took that in during Amateur Hour at the workshop apparently.
