Thought I had 'found' my first signed Mdina piece
« on: August 07, 2011, 09:06:21 PM »
Picked it up, knew already it was Mdina 'cos it had a label on had a quick look at the base, appeared to be signed so quickly paid the £2 and popped it in my bag. On further examination it appeared to be initialled G H L ? but for the life of me could not get the script to read Mdina, took some photos for the album...........
