Thanks for that Dave.
Well according to the photos the numbers do check out OK, my worry now after reading that thread is that that model is heavily faked! I don't have the experience to determine that, so now do I buy or not? He does offer a return policy and no negative feedback. I am tempted - any other comments would be very gratefully received! thanks - Michael |

With that serial number it is a 1960 model...that makes it 49 years old...must have spent it's formulative years in a safe...
