But my Charlton shows a Large 2 7/7 in the pictures and a Small 2 7/7 in the list so I'm not sure which type of 2 goes with the 7/7 or if both combinations are possible? And I can't tell the difference between a Large 2 and a Small 2 from the pictures! Report this Post to the Staff

RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 05/18/2012 11:17 pm Im looking at the charlton right now and it only shows 1872H Q2 S2 7/7 so I see no Large or L2 7/7 variety. also you deff have a large 2, if you look at the pictures in the charlton, the small 2 looks like it could "fit" inside the 7...your 2 looks larger in comparison.

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 05/18/2012 11:37 pm The following 2 pictures are from page 156 of Charlton 2012. (Hopefully I don't get shot for posting them here! :-) ). The first one shows the picture describing the 7/7 as a Large 2 and the second shows the text listing having only a Small 2 for the 7/7. There is no picture showing a 7/7 Small 2 though so I'm not sure if one of the entries is an error or if both combinations are possibilities? Report this Post to the Staff
Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 05/19/2012 6:12 pm In the picture from Charlton, the top of the 2 is even with the top of the 7, yours is higher, so it's not that specific 7/7. The shape of the ball looks to me like the large 2. The base of the large 2 is slightly longer and the overall width is also slightly larger than the small 2, so you'll need one of each to tell the difference. Could still be a 7/7 as there are many varieties not listed in Charlton. Report this Post to the Staff
