Request: Concertina (Seafield EH7) I would like to learn the concertina but I have never tried one.

This is a very big ask, I know, but does anyone have one gathering dust that they would be willing to pass on?

Brass-look handle and knocker (modern, not antique). 2 hinges. Not new, came off a front door so the handle and knocker are weather-stained and there is a bit of rust.
