1314 - I will try to find the reference you give. You will remember the quite lengthy discussion we had some time ago, on Shanghai. We seem to have lost 'Shanghai Lil' - (I can't remember her name !) which is a pity as she was collecting the area. There were a number of other independent Territories off the Coast around there. I sold my Inspector's cap badge - a rare item. Have you located any other pieces ? Mervyn
