Hi Chrissy

Best regards Neil

Hi Chrissy,

a very nice collection and well presented.
Such a shame if you have to break it up but I wish you the best of luck.

Kind regards,

Iain

Thanks Iain, not sure what we're going to do with them yet, but when I feel brave enough I'll take em out the frames and photograph the backs. I'm making a list of all the ones that members mentioned as restrikes and looking through the boxes for duplicate ones, not sure which ones he put on display due to the theft a few years ago.
Thanks Wardog I'll add those to my list too

I have more photos of more boards we have , I may post some later if no one minds

Many Thanks for all you'r help, you really do know your stuff on here
Chrissy

I think we've stepped into the 'showing off' zone now.

Hi Chrissy,
A very nice lot you have, a credit to your father. It is a shame to break a collection like this up but I guess it comes to most of us sooner or later.
cheers, Tinto

Hi chrissy,

Having just re-read your introduction message stating your father is now 88, I think a lot of us would wish you to offer him our congratulations on amassing such a collection, a dedicated collector, that's for sure.

Take care and again good luck.

Dave.

Thank you , I'm not showing off I played with these as pretty toys from when I can first remember ,and I wish I had listened now!!

But they are a collection started form 7 brothers return from war, my father being the only remaining one aged 88, a very proud artillary man who served in the Queens Dorset Yeomanry, and his father in the 6th Welsh regiment during WW1.

Im sure my father will be very proud of your comments

Thank you so much

Hi Chrissy,
This amazing collection has taken years to amass and many months to display.
It is sad that after all that effort this can be broken up again in a matter of hours or days.
Your father and his brothers have captured a large part of the British armies history during the twentieth centaury, and some.
Thank you for letting us see them.
Eddie
