Title: Re: Slightly abusing the Beat the Doc section. Post by: Chef Geoff on October 23, 2011, 09:24:45 PM Ummm I'm a bit out of my depth here although I've had quite a few of these over the years, Mine are usually in worse condition to yours and I've never been able to find an accurate date so I'll be interested to hear what Peter makes of it. 8)

Val Title: Re: Slightly abusing the Beat the Doc section. Post by: wayno on October 23, 2011, 09:42:34 PM Are you sure its metal Rob
Title: Re: Slightly abusing the Beat the Doc section. Post by: The Doc on October 23, 2011, 09:45:48 PM After careful measurement I can confirm that it is 210 mm × 297 mm How heavy is it - an accurate weight should determine whether genuine or forgery? Title: Re: Slightly abusing the Beat the Doc section. Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on October 23, 2011, 09:51:10 PM 3.8 grammes Peter , I must say considering the area of it I was surprised how light it was.
Wayne I'm not sure it contains any metal actually , though there was an elongated oblong shaped piece of metal at its top right hand corner, I think that is what I may have picked up on . Title: Re: Slightly abusing the Beat the Doc section. Post by: herbie on October 24, 2011, 08:17:15 AM OMG, you are so lucky Rob, I've always wanted one of those! ;)
