How am I supposed to check for a bisect 8 then?
Good work ebay.
When was the sale Mike? Some of those prices were incredible - £500 for the F164a that looks fire damaged or something? Someone must have really wanted that one.
Only the second one I've seen where the top of the ear is still intact (the other being the far superior one Terry found), although no doubt there are plenty I haven't seen. Chuffed to bits, and the seller included a free halfpenny too.
I can't believe I've had it in hand and didn't notice until I took a photo of it.
I've probably looked at every ebay picture you have...and I've got to start again now!
