I wanted one for a while and I finally got one. Looks reasonably correct to me. Here are some pics for your comments and critique

Very nice!  8)  :o  I’m too lazy to go through my book (haven’t even got up to make my coffee yet  :)) ) but at a glance it looks correct. Is it all original/correct?

Is this the BNP marking? It’s poorly struck but looks like it.

Thank you. Hard to know for sure as always :) but it’s correct. Seems to be original too but it is even more difficult to ascertain.
The Brit proofs seem to be the London ones, that are different from those of Birmingham.

Oh right, London rather than Birmingham. It’s easier to see it now. Really great find! Just a little green with envy here  :))
