New Teaspoon Advice Please

I've just been told that early 'accelerators' are to be banned from competition. My mid 18th Century example (and previous George II Gold Cup winner) may now be outlawed in favour of the more solid backed modern items.
I could modify the torque transfer system which would alter the internal thrust settings - but it seems a shame to modify such an elderly example.

I completely messed up on this, being on the wrong island of Gran Canaria instead: school boy error some may say but I managed to acquire an immaculate (Nazi gold) Flloydenhoffer recovered from a set of 13 (would you believe) from a bunker hidden in a secluded cove accessed via an underwater cave.
Excited was not the word. I was in panic at whether or not I’d get it through customs and into the U.K. undetected and I managed it via a secret compartment in my hand luggage !
Pics to follow when it’s been prepared, valued and insured accordingly (of course)

Just remember if you modify the torque transfer system, the bowl shape will create a low pressure area causing atomized tea to be drawn from the return flange.I could modify the torque transfer system which would alter the internal thrust settings - but it seems a shame to modify such an elderly example.

I am using this harmonic equation as a potential design idea to modify the TTS.+ \TTS{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\cdots =\infty

We both know that your spoon is not the actual 1762 George II Gold Cup winner. That was lost in a catastrophic stirring accident at Goodwood in the early 19th century. The spoon you have was rebuilt in 1902 using only the left flange of the original and most of the spare 1756 spoon which the great competitive stirrer Lord Masterley used for his more regular tea tastings (but was never used in competiions). It is a very fine spoon but "Gold Cup winner" is a bit of a stretch.alorotom said:

How is your stainless steel coffee spoon collection? Hahahahahahahaahahahaa

Beware ! i tried a very similar equation to that and ended up with RSI ( repetitive stirring injury ) after just 50 seconds stirring. + \TTS{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\cdots =\infty

Let's all come together to laugh at the guy who reckons he's bought a genuine Fuhrer bunker spoon.

Now, now. Just because my modern superspoons can stir their way around your classic stuff when handled by even an amateur...Usget said:

Added to that I have a note from the führer's "Besteck Meister" confirming safe arrival of the spoon at his Cologne residence in February 1942. In addition to the safe arrival, the note also mentions the führer being delighted at the teaspoon's "sanftes Rühren und Gleichgewicht" (Smooth stirring action and balance).
Photographs with custard? Not a chance, the fear of forgery of a teaspoon valued at well over €2.6m does't bear thinking about.

Given that the mangled remnants of the original The George II Campaign Spoon would have fitted on the back of a postage stamp "merely damaged" is a masterfull understatement. Furthermore, Archie (the current Lord Masterley) also claims to have the GiiCS (rebuilt using part of the remaining shaft).
The bowl and thruster assembly are where legal title lies - which frankly you should know at your age. Rebuilding from "part of the remaining shaft" is like saying you have a Ferrari when you merely have a wing mirror. Risible nonsense.
