Default QWR bundle
Morning Gents,
This is one of the many reasons why you can't beat going to a fair & talking to dealers, getting to know them & let them know what you are after. I spoke to one such dealer at Bromley, a very good bloke with a lot of knowledge too! I mentioned to him that I am just concentrating on QWR stuff now & he said he had a little box of bits I may be interested in, so I snapped them up & this is it, 34 buttons in total but I've only added a few to the pic, as you can imagine I was delighted when I got in late from work last night & this package was waiting for me The cap badge was obviously broken at some stage & it had lugs put on and a crown reattached, not by someone like Andy or Dave though !!!
His records have survived too which is a bonus, now I have to find his trio
All the best from a very happy Wilf.
