Hi Mike,
Looking at the pictures the base does look maroon. Also looks to be a very early base, even looks very rough.

If it's the real deal, it better be an early base.

Thanks for the reply, Jason and Tinman.
I can not find a maroon base plate on Nick's code list?

[Tinman]

Nick's notes the base color as Crimson. While shades may vary, simply go with the crimson term and use the guide as normal to find your code.

Mike do you have the green one to compare bases. Jason

Hi Mike.
I did notice a green 31b with a maroon (not crimson) base at the Brentwood toyfair, I showed it to Reg (fixer) but neither of us bought it, I'll buy it if its still there next time.
