Not so sure. Its the engraving itself of the Jimmy, almost a more stylised version than an official one that would be used in a mess on closer inspection. The engraving looks like it has some age. A very interesting item.

This looks like it is from a Royal Corps of Signals mess dining set with the engraved crowned figure of Mercury. Hallmarks look much older than those of this corps, which is only 104 years old with the Mercury (Jimmy) 103 years old.

It was a first for us. Our postie the previous year was good. Personally found very odd behaviour with the large value item. 6 doors down from where we live is over 100 metres away. With this and lack of other general mail and missing TSF all was reported to the police. Will look at FedEx myself. Might be a good idea to mix delivery service mediums anyway than relying on just one company.

I had a recent delivery from Royal Mail where the coin was left outside a house 6 doors down from where we live and a signature made up, the parcel left outside on a wet floor. This coin was a couple of thousand pounds. Was very lucky I saw the email notifcation from the Royal Mail stating item had just been delivered, so I confronted the post person and luckily found the coin. 2 weeks before this, a coin sent by Royal Mail purchased from here on TSF with evidence of posting still not received. Luckily, it is only a small value, but not the point. Reported all to Royal Mail and no action, just a brush off of the forged signature, and they should really not drop off outside someone elses house, then more questions for a coin of value only £30. I personally think Royal Mail service is indifferent at best. It is definitely not good enough where I live. I would pay a little extra to have purchases sent by Fed Express, not the Royal Mail any longer, as I don't trust it as I once did. Might be an area you live at thing though and we are just unlucky.

Can I buy the 1893 please

I bought the 5 oz silver looks nice.

Interesting observation on the fact that no Britannia and Liberty sold out proofs are for sale on Ebay. Why would this be? We're all proofs sent out to collectors rather than flippers?

These are a great price James. GLWS😀
