The Armstrong Siddeley “Royal Albert” Vibro-Beamer

The Armstrong Siddeley

Mr Willbourn of Stentor Industries writes to inform that he will shortly be producing and distributing replicas of the Armstrong Siddeley “Royal Albert” Vibro-Beamer, the executive side-arm for the gentleman assassin! From The Adventures of Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot, which I cannot hope to summarise, but will have to make do with parallel universe travelling agent seeks to counteract foul enemies in various versions of Victorian and Edwardian Earth. A weak and belittling effort, I apologise.

A very sleek looking weapon, with a lovely case to match! I wish you all the best, Mr Willbourn.

Oh, very nice indeed. I want one! :)

A wonderful thing indeed - I'm a big fan of Mr. Talbot's "Luther Arkwright" story and this is a very lovely piece of memoribillia.

Next step, the Kaiser's Floating Fortress!

I have indeed!

Mr Talbot gives the project his full backing and has graciously designed a label for the inside of the case - these are different from the one pictured (that one is a mock-up by myself) and each will be numbered and signed by the great man.

Thank you for the kind words,

Jason

Now that is lovely!
Have you sent a link to Bryan yet?

Oh, that's funny--I've just been writing about Sir John Davenport Siddeley, who bought Kenilworth Castle in 1937--and who designed what has to be the ultimate villain car, the Siddeley Special. That reminds me I was planning to send you a few photos from my latest trip (Henry is running again, eureka!), of the engine room under Warwick Castle and of something else I forget now.
