<p>Actually, I did report this one to Ebay - this has backfired as now I am getting 'PRICE LOWERED - be quick!' emails whenever the price is lowered! Not - quite - tempted. </p>

<p>I see that the price has dropped again by another £1000.... only £2000 to go and then it will only be about £400 overpriced!</p>

<p>I've never heard that detail of the story before, though for obvious reasons I find it fascinating. Where did you get the info that it was a Dallas?</p>

<p>There was a legal battle some years ago over ownership of Leonard Hussey's 'signed' banjo, the one he took on the South Pole with Shackleton in 'Endurance' . Shackleton told Hussey to retrieve the banjo from the sinking ship as it</p>

<p>As far as I know the Hussey Windsor is in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwhich which is where Leonard, after encouragement from HRH Duke of Edinburgh willed it.</p>
<p>Several people fought long and hard to make sure that it stayed put!</p>
<p>This z-b is nothing like the Windsor in the photo of Len.</p>

<p>Pat Doyle has just confirmed that Len's banjo is in Greenwich. This looks like a low end Dallas - sort of z-b I put on the stall for £200.</p>
<p>Hey Ho!</p>
<p>Everyone a Stradivarius!</p>
