Thanxes muchly! I wasn't sure if you were talking about the Compo version of 
Decca (F);
the Compo version of US Decca had a 26xxx series (carried over from Apex to 
[I've
never seen one!] Brunswick for a short period, and then resumed on Apex 
c.1943) and
I'm looking for an example of the Brunswick version...!

I've always figured that Compo assumed there would be a market for Decca(F) 
items
in Quebec...though they seem to show up here in Ontario as well...?!
