I've heard that many bearskins and tunics get handed down from one generation to another.

Good job you didn't say it then

Thanks David, have wanted one for so long.
Don't know what to do with myself now it's finished

I'm sure there's plenty of restoration projects out there just looking for your name on them.

Alli, I hope you didn't think I was being too cheeky with my comment earlier. I didn't really mean to be naughty.

Alli, I found this in my box of odds and sods and knowing you like tigers I wondered whether you wanted it. It's known as a "planchet". I'm not sure which regiment it was intended for but looks like it might be Leicestershire. It appears to be made of bronze. Anyway, if you're interested, pm me with your address and I can pop it in the mail.

Best wishes,
David
