Voltigeurs New Member Canada 45 Posts	Posted 04/12/2014 11:38 pm How is the relation of your pictures with those in the Charlton? I'm a bit confuse. The 1908 large 8 seems to have a cross/bow. The 8 and 0 look more bold then the other one (the 2 holes in the 8 looks smaller). I try to stydy your 2 pictures with those in the Charlton. Thanks for your help Report this Post to the Staff
