These belonged to my father in law born in 1933 during his national service in the RAF and then used by my husband when a boy scout in the 1970s.
They are used, have obvious signs of use eg marks, scratches 'nicks' etc ...but have too many stories behind them to just keep in a loft. It's now time for someone else to use or display them.
