Hi All, Here's one I've not previously come across... I've received an email from Johan in Sweden, who has a backsaw made by M Skulnick and Son Limited.. I think perhaps Liverpool, since they filed for bankruptcy in Liverpool in 1957. (London Gazette) There are some pictures here... (Swedish Language) http://rubank.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/ryggsag-renovering-av-en-engelsk-ryggsag/ But I hope to be able to post some more detailed pictures.. Regards Ray "5240 THE LONDON GAZETTE, 6 SEPTEMBER, 1957 In the Matter of M. SKULNICK & SON Limited, and in the Matter of the Companies Act, 1948.

Hi Simon, Thank you for that. I've emailed Johan, with the information, excellent work! Just a minor correction, it was Johan who did the research on the London Gazette, I've just cut and pasted what Johan sent me in the email.. He will take some pictures and I'll post them in this thread. Regards Ray
