The Export Licence application approved after the sale from my stand at Olympia in 2012.

Originally purchased with Jacques Koopman from a family bank vault in Winchester and sold to H. E. Mahdi al Tajir in 1981 for £500,000.

Re-purchased and sold to a client in the Far East.

This service should never have been allowed out of Britain for it is truly English with no Huguenot influence.
