Turned out a treat @Sovsaver

Well done. :D

Thanks @JunkBond, wasn’t sure as the price seemed anomalous compared to his other stuff.

It is still not the Obverse 1 I need to complete my Obverse 1 to 5 young head collection. Might need to dig deep to get a VF plus one of those ?

Today I received --- nothing

Although the tracking numbers say 4 packages were delivered. I called the post office. He said "oh the carriers went home by now". I said "well, can you call mine and ask him to come out here. We have 12 boxes and he obviously put my items in the wrong box."

The nightmare of dealing with substitute mailmen.

Excellent photos. What type of camera did you use?   
I used my Xiaomi M1 A1 Chinese Smartphone!! Cost me £140 delivered. I usually buy 3 to 6 month "old tech" and buy a couple of phones a year to experiment with.
As a pure Android phone you can "upgrade" the software to get the Google Pixel Camera - not done it yet but what I've seen on YouTube is impressive!!

Brilliant, thank's for that. I use my Samsung phone but the pictures are terrible. I will check that phone out. Sounds good. Cheers.

Sorry typo should read Xiaomi Mi A1 - I've been buying Chinese for about 3 years now and Xiaomi have come from nowhere to 4th largest global sales

Global smartphone sales by vendor in 4Q17 (Thousands of Units)

Vendor4Q17 Units4Q17 Market Share4Q16 Market Share
Samsung 74 026.6 18.2% 17.8%
Apple 73 175.2 17.9% 17.8%
Huawei 43 887.0 10.8% 9.4%
Xiaomi 28 187.8 6.9% 3.6%
Oppo 25 660.1 6.3% 6.2%
Others 162 908.8 39.9% 45.1%
Total 407 845.4 100% 100%

They are massive in China and India. If you are in the UK always make sure you buy the "Global" Version. The 4G works great and I get a better signal than my good ladies trusted Apple thingy?

When buying a Chinese phone the main thing to check is the 2G, 3G and 4G Bands will work in the country you are in or visit.

When we were in Spain on holiday I got 4G on my cheapie Chinese whereas the iPhone only got 3G. We were both using Plusnet - figure that one out!

Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM and you can use either a dual SIM or SIM plus Micro SD.

Would you try to remove the tarnish on the 1990 Kookaburra? It is not natural. I think it is a reaction from the foam. The Queen side has none. The striations you see are part of the finish. No scratches. I have used silver polish before to remove this kind of tarnish. By gently dabbing the surface, no rubbing or back and forth. Then soaking in soapy water and patting dry
