Re: Troubadour Banjolin
OK, check out this thread's timeline. It started four years ago, and that's when the pics were posted. (By the way, I assume you mean "nut slots" rather than "fret slots.")
The British Banjo Makers web pages are down, so it's harder to do additional research on Barnes & Mullins and their Troubadour brand. Here's a fairly short article on the company, which mentions the Troubadour brand.
I would advise flower1 to Google "Barnes & Mullins," the vintage British firm that owned the Troubadour trademark, for more info -- but beware: as is common with other vintage labels, some current distributor has acquired both the "Barnes & Mullins" and "Troubadour" nameplates, and is importing Chinese-made bluegrass banjos to Europe under that label. Most of what you'll find in an initial Google search will be about them.
