Who said anything about e***:o
The number is 310193677471
Looks exactly the same as mine but surely there aren’t loads of these about!

Thanks Andy,
Yes I suspect that Voytech will be able to confirm my suspicions.
If they are, as I suspect, not original then what can I do to stop someone else falling into the same trap as me?
I’m sure the seller isn’t aware that the item is potentially a fake.
I can confirm that the English in myine is also poor. I think that this was done deliberately to add to the effect.

Fair point Austern,
Perhaps I could interest you in my combat report – signed by Josef Frantisek and only £200.00 :diablo:
In all seriousness I think it would be unwise to ignore the advice of recognised experts in this field.
Only time will tell – lets see what it goes for.
All the best for 2010
Gerry

Hi all,
Thanks for your contributions to this post – always appreciated.
I have had a reply from the sender who confirms that he has had the item carbon dated and verified as genuine.
This therefore brings this thread to a finish.
Thanks once again
Gerry

I’m pleased that you thought they were worthwhile.
In my attempt to contact the family I placed articles in the local free and subscription papers, I also contacted the local news (TV and Radio). However, I failed to receive an acknowledgement from either the tv or radio.
There was a large full page item placed in the local paper which covers a wide area.
The paper received one reply telling them that Ronnie Peters sister was still alive and that they would make contact.
However that was a year ago and to date I have had no further contact.
Now having read some of the letters you can understand why they need to be with the family.
Incidentally I have posted about a quarter of the letters etc I have. Unfortunately no further photographic images.
I also have about 20 letters from his family to his mother and father offering sympathy etc.
All the best
Gerry

Kev35,
As I explained earlier, I bought these by accident. They were listed as letters from a 1 Squadron airman with no further details.
I have tried and tried to contact the family to return them without success.

I have listed these in chronological order:-

RAF Donnie Nook 1939

4th October 1940

12th Oct 40 from ship

on arrival in Egypt

Ronnie Peters in North Africa

Christmas 1941

Boxing Night 1941

Last mail home. written on Jan 31st 1942 just a few hours before he was fatally wounded on Feb1st 1942

Letter to Ronnies mum from his Girlfriend Esther.

Hi Tim,
I for one would like to see the combat reports if you get time to put them on show.
I hear from colleagues at Moreton that the snow is heavy near you. I do hope you are all coping.
Best wishes
Gerry
