Can anyone here date this Police Gazette cover? I know it is out of focus (it is in the background of a photograph I am trying to date) but I thought it might have enough detail to be identified by a Police Gazette collector. I have looked at every source I can find online with no luck. Also can anyone tell me the name of the smaller publication under the Police Gazette?
