It has the following letters and numbers : WHU 74 C 9572 . It's made out of aluminium . Any info would be great . Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianit 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
