About the only way it could accomplish anything would be if he committed a violation, was warned by the mods and ignored their warning. I don't...
Have you tried the reading test? You do realize that this thread started in 2009, don't you? Chris;);););)
I was only able to find two listings for Alfred Borrel that involved carrier pigeons. One, Military Competitive Examination of Carrier Pigeons,...
Sometimes, I've had to leaf through the Mitchiner book on jetons, page by page (800 of them!), looking for specimens where I couldn't make out the...
I can't wait to see what you bring back from the Collectorama in Lakeland. By the way, there is a nice bar & grill a couple blocks away but I...
