I have a good Solicitor mate if you need one, skilled in fending off wives who don't understand we just don't do stamp collecting, and a magnet draws you ever closer to historic bargains of this nature!!!

Nice one Gil.... Off to see the piece tomorrow, I am holding my expectations in check at the moment, we all learn to that don't we.

I've been cramming up on the London Colts and they are an absolutely fascinating Colt side story all of their own.

This piece is apparently a recent discovery, I believe from a deceased estate and is still covered in what I am led to believe is grease.

I have been told its all matching 3 digit serial and in 300 range. This would make it in the first week or two of the Pimlico factory opening. I would imagine that these very early examples are almost exclusively assembled from US supplied parts, but we will see.

The common sense side of my brain is trying to keep the exited child side of me in check at the moment....

John,
It'll be 001 and you'll pass
