Paul it muist be the font as it still looks like 1910 - 1915 but I will take your word for it. Getting old is a pig.

Well, then there is something wrong with my eyes too because I read 1910-1915 too until you said it was 40-45. Seem like a bad choice of font to me...

Yep, it's just a very bad looking "4"! Hisham

Hi, guys, come on! Stop complaining about the visibilty. ( How do you do an average Eduard etch set?) They just use a type of font which was rather widely used in the 1940-ies! Serious now: Has anyone an idea if these signs are (semi)gloss? And how can they be used? Are they decals or printed on carton? At least: they look good and should be the start of a wider range of civil road signs, other than the, mostly military origin, Verlinden ones we know for ages now.

If you go to their website it says based on standards from 1939.

Hi, fellows! Are you all doing this on purpose? The site states 1937 not 9

I have corrected the news story and Paul is 100% correct, it is just a font that does not show 4 quite so well.

Sorry miss read the 1937. Not on purpose. Just a mistake.

Thanks gentlemen, Thanks, Darren, you're a gentleman As a side effect: all this makes me wonder that there are so little (Hornet) heads with glasses. (no offence)
