gt40 identification needed

[nickjones]

Hi all.
I got these pics from a lady in Italy, can you identify if it is the rare Italian version, thanks

It looks like it, but the baseplate picture is too blurred for me to be sure.

There is a Bulgarian variation which looks the same, except that the baseplate obviously says "Made in Bulgaria" rather than "Made in England".

The Bulgarian variation is probably at least as rare as the multipack issue made in England, but it is much less sought after.

A lady in Italy is generally more likely to have the English one rather than the Bulgarian one...

Thanks Christian, I will ask her for more baseplate pictures

HI nick, Looks like the correct colour/model to me. Colour looks spot on.

Hi Numi.
I'm still waiting for her to send me more photo's, I will post them here as soon as I get them.

It sure looks like a Bulgarian model to me.

It sure looks like a Bulgarian model to me.

For the sake of my sanity, please God lets hope not!!!!!!

I just re-checked her email, she gave a description of the base inscription and says it says made in England

[nickjones]

Made in England base. I guess it is the real thing then, also a clear rear window without ridges.
