Yes, that's the same window glazing. I traded my soul to the Devil for magic powers. Not really, patience and a few good tricks can bring back many glazing units/windows.

Amazing restoration of the glazing unit. Looking at the original photos, one would have thought the glazing was ready for the trash heap!
Happy hunting!

Great restoration , looks like a repair that was badly needed with the re-attachment of the base plate halves!

Would love to see the finished article as I have a Cresta also in the process of work being done :lol:
