Default GIBRALTAR DEFENSE FORCE

Hi all, I wanted to just get a second opinion on this one. The weight off it is good and not of a thin metal seen on many repro's. The lugs also have the gold braze with a s light foot.

If anyone has one to post, or any opinion would be appreciated.

many thanks

simon.

Hi Paul, thanks for the tip, wouldn't have a ink would you. I have no clue how to get to that Bosley thing. Never bought of there myself.

Cheers

Simon.

Hi Paul, thanks for that. I take it hasn't sold yet. Will be curious to see what it goes for if that's the case.

Cheers

Simon.

The item didn't sell. On the prices realised page it says items that didn't sell may still be available at the low estimate, in this case 30 pounds.

Cheers Paul.

Hullo Simon,
You have obviously been brainwashed by your American neighbours insofar as spelling is concerned. Here in the true colonies (Canada) we stick (mostly) to British spellings for words like defence and neighbour, mainly to demonstrate that although we may like them we are not part of "them."
God save the Queen!
