I have a couple of KAR other ranks - I am reasonably happy with them
(as much as you can be these days...) and yes they are just an arabic
numeral - can't post them as I don't have them with me. From memory
both the 2 and the 6 one are slightly over an 1" in height, and no, I don't
believe have ANY of the officers ones either................................ thanks
Peter...
Must have a dig around now that I have seen yours.
Nice and desirable as the auctioneers say. Nice one Peter.
