Made in HUNGARY

Hello ritchie, a fabulous collection of miniature Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II models you have there.

This model comes from 1987 and my master listing records 33 versions, but it has not been updated for a while and I think there are at least another 10 examples waiting to be added to it.

I only have 6 examples in my collection.

Thank you GHOSTHUNTER. Very informative, as always.

A noteworthy fact about the Hungarian Matchbox models is that on all models which come with metal baseplates the silver-grey baseplates can be found in a smooth or textured finish:

(Note this is an old picture taken with my previous camera prior to 2005.)

Hello Christian,

Is this smooth/textured the same as what you described as silver-grey and pearl silver on your master listing?

Thanks,

Yes, that's it. I am not quite sure if that terminology is appropriate, but while I cannot come up with something better, I will stick to it.

Thank's Christian for the baseplates picture.

How do they manage to retain so much of the paint on the rivet head, after machining it down to secure the base, compaired to British Matchbox models?
