"dunc, you are lucky to have a series of the extinct British race from various localities. Very hard to come by now with provenance. You must have a good contact"
Yes he is a very good friend.

Ditto my two sources; absolutely impeccable credentials from well-known collectors, labels in their own hand. Getting good specimens of British M.arion is an occasional and extremely enjoyable indulgence.  |

 You will find getting genuine British semiargus almost as difficult as dispar dispar,it was always very local in England and Wales, even at its most abundant in the 1800's, sources are few and far between. Here are a couple of British arion I picked up recently, an easy repair job to make them look good, one from barnwell wold , another from Devon 1890's. |
