My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

The first photo in your Post #12 is just dazzling. Perfect light showing very good detail
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Thanks Ullie. The silver wash is what sold me on this. Wish it had some gold wash on the number plate but beggars can't be choosy! LoLStunning and rare!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes. Nothing ever beats daylight photos. These were snapped from my cell phone no less, with zero editing beyond a bit of cropping. Of course the phone WAS a Google PixelThe first photo in your Post #12 is just dazzling. Perfect light showing very good detailwhich makes it so easy to take good photos.

This section of the forum is dying ...... Hopefully not Map but I understand what your saying . Usually Big Ned would have a lot to comment on this badge as others would who are not here anymore or just are not interested in commenting anymore . I have noticed the same thing . I really do need this part of the forum to continue on as I need peoples opinion . We don't all have the knowledge that the forum gives and we depend on the assets ( people ) of this forum to lead us in the right direction . Sorry for the rant .

Yes....a bit of an overstatement in my part and no worries about the "rant"
But things have definitely slowed down. An award like this or the Combined Pilot / Observer badge historically could have drawn a lot more comments ( not that I'm looking for them myself). It is telling.
But more importantly, I have seen a) a decline in awards posted and b) a general lack of response when they are and people are looking for help.
Just a few days ago an EK was posted (by a Life Member no less) with a number of views and no comments
Can we chalk it up to many key members leaving? And thus people not coming here to post their awards as often? Or just a general slow down in collecting? Don't know
But it was great to see BigNed pop his head in last week and provide some high quality feed back as he is known to do. Maybe he will return? We can hope.

That is one great looking,shinny award there!Congrats!
Just one question,why is the birdy's beak smashed in!?
Thanks.
The beak looks like that due to the "light" strike in the die. There are other examples I've seen like this.
