Thats really nice. From a car boot aswell? Such a shame its not named. Out of was it being sold by the family or was it on a dealer's stall? If from the family did you get any other info about it. Cheers.
It was in the bottom of a box of old house hold junk
, I asked the seller if he had anything else, but he said no, he found it in the loft of his house when he moved in about twenty years ago
Hmmmmm, Wonder whats in my loft lol
Thats a nice pick up....Looks in ok nick...thanks for posting....Cheers Terry.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
