Smile Early Shropshire Militia....!

Hi Chaps,

Well just like the proverbial 'London Bus', I waited a long time but have just had no less than a set of 'six' of these beauties arrive, thanks to a good friend in the UK.

All appear identical; 20mm Shropshire Militia by Firmin & Westall (1794-1811), open back with gilt finish and in really lovely condition.

I'm so pleased I just had to share some pics,

Cheerio,

Roy.

Hi Roy,

I apologise that this is not in the right place but I couldn't add the picture to the correct reply! Here is my East Kent Militia glengarry.

KR,

Pete.
