69B_Hatra

Post by SuperFast »

Good evening to all collector friends,

I've found an interesting 69 B Hatra at eBay.
The number is: 322431722997

This auction is interesting, because the seller knows the two coloured Hatra is htf but he doesn't know wether the box is genuine or repro.
Haha - the box is original repro.
What's your opinion about the painted rivet?

Could someone please post a link? (I can't find this listing on Ebay.)
Genuine two-tone Hatras have an unpainted turntable rivet.

Ebay seems only to recognise the item number if it's entered on ebay.de

Thanks for that, John.
The turntable rivet does not look right to me. we had quite an in-depth analysis of this model back in the Lefora days and concluded that genuine examples have unpainted rivets.

Mine is unpainted, and all I've seen are unpainted that are legit. :P

The seller states he does not know if the box is original or repro. To me, it looks repro.

Fake box and fake repainted model. There are other clues besides the rivet.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
