I hasten to point out that this is Toyboy's photograph, not mine!
I'm unclear how many of these are known. The text on Nick's catalogue page implies that the answer is "several", but I have only heard of one which was found in London by John Nijhuis (whom i think is a memeber here). It eventually eneded up in a big collection (Frankie Flemming's?) in the States at least part of which was bought by Alan (whose photograph it is).
So, is there actually more than one of these known to be still in existance?

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
