Tony B Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Not used to seeing it shiny :-D but, I don't think it's German. The German stuff has only about a quarter inch between barbs. It really is All Barbs very little wire. The end of the reels also look more British. Legacy of a childhood playing with horses and fencing fields.

ferretfixer Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 It does seem other share your drive. http://www.rushcounty.org/BarbedWireMuseum/ :-D Blimmin 'Eck, Tony! A Museum I can totally understand. With my Engineers head on, I can appreciate the differing types & variants. & also the difficulties involved, in manufacturing. How this was overcome with different types, & machinery. But I had to look twice, at the column on the left of the page. When it said Barbed Wire 'Festivals'! :-D And although not quite my Bag, 'Collectors' of barbed wire?..........:nut: It is truly amazing, & indeed interesting. To discover the myriad of things certain People do collect! :cheesy: My Father told Me once. 'Somewhere, there are People who actually collect House Bricks. You just have to find them'!......:shocked: & upon reflection, I feel he was Right! :cool2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
