    Hello and welcome Iso, unfortunetely your photos only appear as tiny thumbnails so can't see any real detail, it will be a big help to members if can you post them slightly larger for clarity.

    Your photographs are first class Iso but as I answered all your original questions on the 12th
    #3, what have I missed out? Maybe the lock number 19988 but as that was long before Milner kept such records it wouldn't have taken you any further.
