Welcome, Guy. I hope that this is the first of many from your collection that you will post here. If so, this looks like it is going to be an interesting thread and I, for one, am looking forward to it!

Wonderful Guy, you must have collected a lot in 45 years time. I bet we only saw a tip of the Iceberg.

Hi Guy,

Congratulations is also a very nice shako.

A few years ago you also sent me these pictures  and have them still sitting in my archive.

But in the meantime I already have some of these in my collection
