I presume Firmin coloured in the gaps between harp strings as physically voiding them must have fallen into the ‘too difficult’ box.

Sad to think this company which produced some of the finest quality and most detailed other ranks metal badges just 60 years ago has been reduced to pony solder iron jobs and pack of crayons.
