    Isn't the design above the third Peter Rabbit?
  2. mrbadexample
    Gibraltar too I think.
  3. mrbadexample
    Good grief, yes I'd like to swerve those please.

    Thank Jerry, that's the bit I was trying to see, so thanks for the practice tip.
  5. mrbadexample
    Wow. I'll take the lot!

    Another 1874H, also on ebay. Think this is F73 - OBV 7 REV H, but looks to me like Gouby rev ja which doesn't fit with F73 <scratches head> <removes splinters from fingernails>. Where have I gone wrong please? Is it Gouby j?

    Thanks Richard, much clearer!
  8. mrbadexample
    What's with this one please Richard? I see the lump above the 7 but can't see how it fits with another 7?

    Hi PNMY, I did note that mine was a middle pointing (ESC 1951, no stop after REX). The detail on the edge is interesting. Please let us know your findings.
  10. mrbadexample
    Thanks both.
  11. mrbadexample
    Thanks, I've now got tea in my keyboard.

    I believe it was fairly common as a means of preservation / protection before we knew better.

    Pete might know better - he seems to have a good idea when something's been monkeyed about with.

    Maybe better in a new thread but I'll stay here for the moment. To continue my education....I have identified this ebay offering as F71, 7+G. Am I right please?

    Can't really help Mike other than to say I got a cartwheel 2d in an auction lot that I'm sure had been previously lacquered as there was a bit left on the edge. Came off ok with a bit of acetone. Is it worth looking at the edges to see if there's any trace? Probably more likely there than on the other surfaces. Looks like a nice enough piece to me though.

    I guess that shouldn't come as any great surprise DrP. It'll turn up. The day after my Kew, probably.

    Hi Guest really, why not join our forum and contribute your wisdom to our discussions?
  18. mrbadexample
    Probably enough of us reported it. Perhaps ebay have a magic number. 10 reports won't do it, but maybe if it hits 50 they pull it. Who knows?

    Yes, ESC records the first leaf pointing to the right of the E, the upright of the E (as Paddy's above) or the middle of the E, like mine:

    I've often thought about doing just that. Win the auction, give it a couple of hours then send the seller a message saying "I'm terribly sorry but I can't go through with this transaction as I've since been advised that it's fake." I don't see how ebay could take any action against you, although you might be limited in the number of times you'd get away with the same trick. Perhaps we should take it in turns?

    I can no longer edit my first post, but it should now read: I need 1: wrestling. Big thanks to Paddy and Will.
  22. mrbadexample
    Will I'd be chuffed to bits. Can you let me know what you want for postage and PM me some payment details please?
  23. mrbadexample
    Ahh...like that. I take it there was no satisfactory resolution?
  24. mrbadexample
    Brilliant Paddy, yes please. Can you PM me some payment details?
  25. mrbadexample
    It would be nice to have the full set but the decimals just don't interest me enough to pay more than face value for them (although I might pay £1 when I only need one more). Most of them are still in sufficiently good nick. They'll all turn up in due course, I'm sure. I got given the football one last week.
