Alex, they are all code 1 pieces from my understanding. But I have seen both code 1 and code 3 labels for the ilford film label (different syles). -David

Both code 3 models I think. There are so many of them out there.

I did Alex, The Borregarrd paper, Sellotape (4 different labels), IlFord Hp5 film, and Barclays Bank are code I models from my understanding. The only uncertainty I really have is the Barclays Model may be a code 2. Are you going to believe me or the guy who collects those funny looking cars that don't even roll well :D

Here is the code I IlFord (lifted from Christians Site):

Here is the code 3 IlFord:

I would think that anything listed in Ramsays is a genuine code 1, Nigel Cooper compiles them for John Ramsay's price guide
