    EU referendum - in or out?

    George111 replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!

    Iv'e no evidence but It would simply be impossible to say how many from the EU there really are here because they don't all put them selves into the system whether that's because they can't speak/wright English or modern day slaves Illegal immigrants is a whole new ball game and we could do a lot more to stop this and needs a thread all on its own

    2.4m people from other EU countries living and working in the UK That has to be only a estimate of workers who have bothered to register and a massive under estimation of how many are actually living/working in the uk

    This country used to "rule the waves" it needs to grow some balls, with the people of 28 (and growing) countries in the EU wanting to get to benefit(land) I mean England because of how easy it is to get free hand outs,NHS ect ect The only way to control this "mass migration" is to opt out and close our boarders

    It's not pretty, but what is it?

    George111 replied to mrbadexample's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins

    Looks like you had the picture up the right way in the first photo to me Why would the fern or what looks like oak leaves lay the way they do
  14. George111
    Mine is exactly the same

    Well I never would of guest it is a horn protector I've got 3 of them in different styles
  17. George111
    Would of thought it to be too thick and heavy gauged metal and with 2 different sized "slots" it was attached to something that tapered like a sword or dagger not a livery button
  18. George111
    The gap at the top is smaller than the gap at the bottom which may mean it was attached to something which "tappers" like the forged handle of a sword does I said think its medieval so I am not sure and know nothing about designs of each century Cleaning up one of the "fixing points" there seems to be a rectangular shaped hole where a pin/peg would of joint it to the other side
  19. George111
    I think this is part of a sword pommel off of a medieval sword
  20. George111
    Sorry im not being funny but I really cant see it being just a oil//fuel can cap which is flat to make a seal My object has a "belly" (pic3) and what you think could be "finger turns" would be upside down also the radial arms would need to grip the flange's? of a jerry can ect How ever I will have to bow to your knollage as I can't come up with anything to support my fantasy
  21. George111
    That theory does not tally with the "high points" of wear and there is no wear inside the "claws" to say they gripped onto anything like oil can or be some old radiator cap ect The picture shows they had large cloak fastening
  22. George111
    Hi IanB The 4th claw does look like it has been bent back so not where it should be there is no sign of having a pin attached to be a broach
  23. George111
    I was thinking more on the lines of a cloak fastener
  24. George111
    Flash, Jelida or anyone I have no idea what this is ? have you? Going by the "wear" I think the first picture is the back And the second picture looks like it could of held glass beads or stones ect And the third is the profile looks like it maybe links to another in a chain?
  25. George111
    I thought it maybe a trade weight Its hard to see on the photo but there is either a cross or star in the top left corner the sword I think is for London The Commonwealth was the period from 1649 onwards when England, along later with Ireland and Scotland, was ruled as a republic following the end of the Second English Civil War and the trial and execution of Charles I
