Kevin in Deva, Hi Kevin, Hey, I've got some nice copies with super patinas that if he'd like to buy them at high end prices I'd be happy to discuss it with him. Some folks just never learn.

Kev in Deva Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi Alec and Chris, thanks for the additional pictures. I see Chris your one has an Issue / Serial Number on the side this is not evident on Alec's piece, we're all pieces numbered in this way?
