erm,.... ....dunno Ba, sorry. But it sounds like a nice collection to have on the wall.

Try ringing a collector, you can usually find them from ads in your local classfieds, or angling publications, or have a look through the FM class.

Any collector should be able to help or point you in the right direction, as long as you ensure they're not trying to barter with you.

Wow that was convenient!

What are the odds, 2 posts on taxidermy at the same time on the same night?

I think he has probably flogged them by now, the first posting was in 1993.

I doubt that Gary has flogged um.' They I think belong to his club. And if he has, he'll have to answer to the Monk.

The bow fronted cases with gold lettering usually fetch at least twice what a flat fronted one will.

Bit like Monk's women really.
