Well done Reg, I think that there was actually 2 on ebay at the same time, I took them off my watch list because temptation would have got the better of me. That's 3 I've seen this year - the other one was in a joblot that I stopped watching when it headed towards the £100 mark.

from Rayleigh toy fair today been seeing this at brentwood fairs for a while (at least 3) but it has always been priced a bit high at £35 considering the damage to the barrel
think I got it at a reasonable price £25 as the vendor agreed he'd had it for a long time and any in better condition would probably be out of my price range
still I only have to spin the barrel round to hide the crack :D

Only one official complaint? Reminds me of Victor Meldrew enduring a strip search after complaining about the crack in his bottom at Luton airport :lol:
