Thank you all! Yes, I was thrilled to get the Food Flying Squad, and worked with a seller on ebay that made us both happy.

The 207 Manchester is part of hge named little grouping. This was part of a nice lot that was kindly offered to me by one of our members, and I am truly grateful to him for it!

Thank you all again,

Terry

A nice haul indeed. I would be interested to see some detail photos of the Royal Scots Fusiliers badges!

Chris, it has been in the upper 60's/lower 70's this past week and to continue tomorrow. And 2 weeks ago it was near zero!!!

CB, see if these work for you and if not, I can take new pictures and the backs when I have some good sunlight.

From these pics they look good, but as always, the reverses will tell.

CB,

Here are pictures of the front and back. I have left them large so you can hopefully better see them.

My concern is the white metal one - looks great from the front, but poor detail on he back and E-W lugs. Appreciate your thoughts.

Terry

I would agree that the w/m one is very suspect. I would want age blacked n-s lugs.
