Hi all

Does anyone have a pic of a good KC Leicestershire Yeo?
Not much turning up on the search function

Thanks

Colin

Also found looped E/W in Gm (common) & Wm (hens teeth).



Beware the fakes.... there are at least two or three types for this one.

What particular things to look out for on this one?

There are many things wrong with the fake badge, but highlighted in in red circles are just some of the errors. The crown is the wrong shape, its just a poor reproduction.


basic observation is sharp pointy leaves. There are also flaw marks inside the "LY" that can be seen in other brass versions of the fake illustrated, indicating a flawed die.

To see more.... see the bottom of this page ->
