    My latest find, the officers set is the capbadge for the wosley pith helmet, marked Firmin London, the collars are marked Firmin & Son. I believe these are 1930's issue.

    Very nice indeed. I must say, lately there have been some exceptionally beautiful items being shown.

    I always thought the Margritte was hardest to find. How wrong I was.

    Nice grouping Mike any thoughts on how you are going to display the set ie... shadow box and or framed.

    Regards Mark

    Hopefully Mike has better plans for displaying this in his collection, than I would if it were in mine. I still have no place to display anything, so it all sits in boxes, envelopes, book binders etc, until I have more room.

    I hear you there Cliff at times I feel like I live in a museum always rotating things around trying to make more room for displays bringing new stuff out putting other stuff away LOL.
