Just PM me your address, Jack, and I'll get them to you. Bruce
Good to hear from you again, Jack. Always like to see some of your tokens. Funny you mentioned McChord and Mildenhall, as I still keep an eye...
I only have a small collection of foreign counterstamps, with the exception of mostly contemporary Irish political pieces. This is a neat old...
You're right, harley. The title Don is used at both Oxford and Cambridge. Please see my response to Diplodocus in Message #86 this thread. Bruce
That's the legend I always remember, Paddy. A bit gruesome and possibly a bit "enhanced", but back then it actually may have happened. Although...
