    Default Count me in!

    Hi, remember me!!!!

    Not getting a lot of time to much of anything lately - thought it was all suppose to slow down as you got older!!!!! For me, it just seems to get busier. However, will certainly make up some more pens for Christmas. Am pleased to see that the Anzac pen number rose to a respectable number. I rode my horse at a Dawn Service and a Town march, him wearing my military saddle - original leathers with 1915, 1917 and 1922 stamps and military codes punched into it!!! A very special moment.

    If you have kits you want made up as well I am happy to do a few - would prefer not slim or streamlines if that's not to precious!!!!

    Many thanks to Graham aka Sundowner I have streamline kits if anyone wants to make some for the troops. There are also kits from one of Grahams mates who unfortunately has passed away. I have sent the first lot of pens to the troops if you have any please send them on to me. Many thanks to all those that have partaken this Christmas
