I bought it from a small antiques shop in Rottingdean, England for £150. My reason for posting is that I'm interested in its history. It would be great to talk to its background if Im ever asked. I hope these photos suffice and thank you all for your contribution. -Paul File Attachment(s): image.jpg (3,612kb) downloaded 46 time(s). image.jpg (2,267kb) downloaded 23 time(s). image.jpg (2,954kb) downloaded 15 time(s). image.jpg (3,596kb) downloaded 10 time(s). image.jpg (3,133kb) downloaded 23 time(s). image.jpg (2,585kb) downloaded 5 time(s). image.jpg (2,596kb) downloaded 22 time(s).
