I am sure there was a typical farmyard scene in the background complete with a barn? And, I am sure, a few rats running around in the foreground - maybe not for long with that weapon in her delicate hands. I don't think I dreamt it? Yes, those were the days when it was a crime not to have a penknife in school, even in full knowledge of the teachers, for sharpening pencils, and a Bowie knife to venture out in the woods after school to make bows, arrows spears, carvings....I know of nobody getting stabbed, or a knife used in anger. Yes, in accidence we cut ourselves, but, soon learned to cut away from our vital parts....Knife amnesties indeed, where did it all go wrong? It only punished a responsible user.....sorry for the extra rant, but. that leaflet was really something. Oh, may I add; around the same time, possibly as part information on the same leaflet(?). BSA showed a comparison of power of a Meteor and Airsporter by way of how many thin and spaced out alloy plates the pellet could penetrate?
