Back in August 2012, inspired by seeing some of Darren's collection, I decided to start collecting vintage darts and memorabilia myself.
I had a wishlist of sets that I wanted to get which I have near enough completed - these included original Silver Comets, Accudart Variants, Dorwins, Jim Pikes, Schofields, Unicorn Bantams and original Dum Dums which I have got, and others which I am still to get such as Unicorn Omegas and a set of News Of The World silver darts.

Also on my wishlist were some Unicorn Half Pint darts which were introduced by Unicorn in 1947 and are scale replicas of some of the Unicorn number series darts of the time.
They were released in 10 different variations as follows:

Given the number of variations I would have been pleased to get just 2 or 3 of the sets, but I'm well chuffed to have finally got all 10 variations Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.
