Rope Tension Drums

If anybody has any pictures af RM, Blue Jackets or RNSM bands with Rope Tension Drums then please get in touch. I have started building up a library of photo's to help with my business.

I am very keen to get some of the Blue Jacket Band Portsmouth Barracks with their silver drums.

Scans are good i wouldn't expect originals.


Many Thanks
Warmy

Hi Warmy,

A thousand apologies .. I spoke to my Mum this morning to arrange to photograph said Drum .. only to find she sold it two years ago to a dealer for £200.00 .... gutted or what ? ...

Sorry mate .. best laid plans & all that ...

Cheers,

Kev.
