Thank you for the quick replies. this pigeon must of been a long way from home as I found it in north northumberland scottish border. Is this an collectable ring or is it quite common.

it is an old Welsh Homing Union ring as stated ,from 1974 ,possibly Caerphilly .as to its value , I would value it as a collector .on the open market ,only as much as some-one was willing to pay Brian.

oh and as to being a long way from home , some Welsh feds previously raced from Lerwick .so it was on its way home I guess
