Crikey....., 65 of 'em, ain't seen that many in one hit since I walked through the Out-Inspection packing bay..... Ready to be returned to Ordnance Stores!
Middle row, 1/3rd of the way up. There's always someone who wants to polish the whole thing to make it silver! That and the scabbard buttons..... the bane of our lives
