    I've warned him to withdraw these replicas or they'll be reported to eBay.

    Yes, and what a comedown from the 80s when I was a computer programmer for them, and we got generous staff discounts.

    I'd be happy with a paper or digital format.
  4. Peckris 2
    My thoughts exactly.

    I possibly still have the scans of Sealy's full varieties article from 1970? If anyone's interested I could repost if I do have them.
  6. Peckris 2
    I think I posted Sealy's list from a year later (1970) when the number of varieties had reduced to fewer than 7? I'm always suspicious of that era's "blunt" vs "pointed", as they can be put down to wear, either of the examples found or the dies. I'm not sure there is any kind of market for 1957 calm sea varieties, particularly when they are of such a micro nature. I'm happy to have a BU example and don't care which it is, frankly.

    I can see the flaw but wondering where the dot is?

    Is there a 12 step programme, or is the pub further away than that?
  9. Peckris 2
    Seconded.

    Well, Burberry's most famous product is their trench coat ... which you presumably had to dig for the Berberis? 😆
  11. Peckris 2
    That's just HORRIBLE.

    All very sedate. A million miles away from 1967.
  13. Peckris 2
    Both those titles look like great reading.

    "Lighthouse" has 4 consonants together? Is that one of the 6?

    She should apply to get onto the government's vulneeerability list which is used by supermarts for priorcity slots. Sadly MS - despite being an immuno-suppressant disease - doesn't count. 😪

    Welcome to the forums . 😊 One of the forums here is dedicated to British Hammered - do post away!

    Yes, that's a nice example. Finding a good one is rather haphazard since the reverse ghosting and weak breastplate aren’t deliberate but often occur 'accidentally' as a result of the deep obverse design - it's not always going to be the case. However the weak hair IS deliberate - it resulted from the overuse of dies during and immediately after WW1.

    4. facetious 5. rhythm ? (y may not count as a consonant here) 7. awkward

    Ruby Wax was on BBC QT and made a great point : while maintaining social distance, make the effort to make eye contact, smile, even wave. Our mental health is important.

    I agree. I think each of the students sees one of each on the other two foreheads. If the first (A) saw two the same on one forehead, then one of the other two (B or C) would see the same and would know from A's first reply that he can't see 4 the same. So B knows from A's second reply that each person sees one of each on all of them, and therefore he knows there is one of each on his own. (A bit convoluted but I know what I mean!)

    Not quite - the 'singly' simply restates the fact that one of the musicians must bring the torch back for the next pair, i.e. returns across 'singly'. But yes, you got the answer. 😊

    Obviously there would be more than one matrix, and it must be that 8/6 was an error on one such. It's entirely possible that a matrix could be ill prepared, as reduction equipment didn't come in until 1883 at the earliest, quite possibly later, so the engravers were working with lifesize designs.
  24. Peckris 2
    The first 1 being overstruck is highly worthy of note, as they tended to reuse the '186' matrix, only punching the final numeral on the die. Obviously there was more than one matrix but only a fraction of the number of dies used.
  25. Peckris 2
    Also known as 'stop over numeral' (son)?
