From the Goldsmiths' Company News Bulletin - March 2011:

'Ashley-Russell Handling Session a Success

The afternoon handling session on fake spoons and other flatware which formed part of the Ashley-Russell prosecution was attended by over 30 people. The session, which took place on 18 February and was free to the trade, was presided over by experts Alastair Dickenson and Henry Willis. This was the last chance to see these interesting pieces before they are handed back to the police.'
