    So I am lucky to have two example of the 2 pusher Royal Navy Lemania, which as you may know was issued for a couple of years in the mid-70s and represents Lemania's last hurrah for the RN.

    The one on the right came off eBay a few years ago from a French seller. The left one I found for cheap in a shop in Rome 18 months ago.

    Recently I got them out together and glanced at the backs, and this is what I found...

    That is pretty cool.

    Both look to be in great shape as well!

    Similar to winning the lottery, unlikely, but very rewarding.
