Thanks for that. That Middlesex example at the start of that thread would not have fooled even me however.
Genuine examples that I have seen on the web have almost invariably exhibited a certain saltiness and crudity of construction incorporating differing threads and construction. Additionally, the vast majority would seem to have been used and I would conjecture that mint unworn examples should not be commonly encountered.
I am also aware of the website mentioned which must have some undoubtedly very good examples, but at rather frightening prices; to me at least.
