Although there are repros out there i think this is a good un, it looks almost unissued, id like to see a picture close up of the inside metal airvent as it maybe marked, and also the pins securing the badges, nice clear markings on the liner though.
Hi mdk220, nice original one, looks exact to the one i saved up to buy in 1969 in Brighton, U.K. cost me £5.00 !!!.....i only earnt 10 shillings (50p,$1.25) a week as a paperboy....
good news and thanks to all. I paid $299 US.
£5.00 !! , I sold mine in 1970 for £5.00, it was the worst mistake i made, but i suppose you learn by them
davejb, i did slightly better, i sold mine along with the bulk of my collection in 1976, for £25.00 !....i should of kept everything ! they would of outlasted my marriage thats for sure !
Two things happened to me in 1976, i sold the bulk of my collection as well and got married, i still have the missus, and have been trying to recoup the losses ever since!!
Hi, as has been said, 2nd pattern heer pith, in good condition.
