2) Corgi 1115 Bristol Ferranti Bloodhound. In near mint plus condition with the occasional little expected mark to the white finish. Complete with the notably original nose cone (so often replaced since they perish over time).

3) Corgi 1116 Launching Ramp is in near mint condition. A few exposed edge marks. Bright metal parts throughout.

The colourful outer box is intact, clean with excellent strong colours. Looks as if it has had little handling and stored away from the light; the colours are day-one vibrant.

Cgs4f645

Little surface scuff and the occasional minor edge rubbing and the lid ‘bulges’ a little. Period penned price on box base underside. Complete with both upper and lower packing pieces.

Cgs4f647

Nice to see that the Rocket Age Leaflet is included ? lots of details and pictures of this military range. Also included – Instruction Slip for the Bloodhound Guided Missile, as well as the early ‘Moorgate’ Corgi Club Membership Form and Quality Control Slip.

An impressive military Gift Set which is always difficult to find in any condition, especially hard to find complete with a fine box.
