"Lamb's fry is lamb offal served as food, including the testicles, liver, sweetbreads, heart, kidneys, and sometimes the brain and abdominal fat—or some combination of these."
You lost me at testicles

I may do that, this is not really a collectors forum though.
An expert rubbished it the first time I put it online on a noted overseas collectors forum but we confirmed that it was original still by taking a chamber cast.
It has been well received at a couple of show and tells and soon may be lent on a long term basis to a museum, I am waiting for paperwork to be tidied up first and I want an agreed insurance value(which apparently is a hurdle as the person who originally valued it has passed on- and is sorely missed). But I will stop messing up this thread for now.
