2.  the queen's birds cant be very sought after ?

I had one once GB07 ER 049. Reported it to Carlo Napolitano, a real gent I must say, had the bird transfered tried it and wasn't any good. Still have the transfer form to this day but the bird is long gone. People thought I was mad at the time for trying it and flying it but best to find out if they are any good its only a ring after all. Would I buy one?? NO

Maybe down to bad marketing, brobably done better at Blackpool :-/

[lawrie]

Are times that hard that your economising on rings this year?

See GB ER rings sell on ebay for £50 and more.

Think you will find there are quite a few who happy to get an ER ring despite whatever the birds like

 

I still have the transfer form, C.J.Napolitano for HM THE QUEEN that will do for me, looks good but the ring its self disapeared with pigeon and good ridance I dare say someone had it drop in and idolised it though  ;D

I have GB2005 ER 1 I have been told it has never been given out before the royal lofts get 250 rings the first 50 stay in the loft the other 200 are given away to good causes sales etc

ER 1 must be worth £150 quid just for the ring but its worth alot more than that to me if it keeps her indoors quiet + its well bred
