We have to remember that i) Moko was a distributor and so could have carried different product lines, and ii) there may have been another Moko based in Germany.
Note that the base is marked DRGM. According to this website, "D.R.G.M., or sometimes DRGM, is not a German patent. It was instead a way for inventors to register a product’s design or function in all states within Germany. From 1891 to 1952, products manufactured in Germany might have been stamped with this D.R.G.M. designation, if the manufacturer opted not to pay the outrageous patent fees that Germany was charging, but instead chose to copyright their product’s intended way of use, or design. This copyright was initially for a period of 3 years, with an option to extend it for another 3. This gave the copyright owner a maximum of 6 years protection".
BTW, this is a relisting.

Gary is not a member although I have been trying to get him to join for ages, But he runs his own business and spends much of his time on the road so does not get much time for forums, But whenever Gary finds something of interest he emails me the details so I can tell you all about it, He does read all of the early Lesney posts and as Tim has said, He is a 100% genuine guy and I'm proud to call him a good friend. Gary supplied all of the early Lesney toys which will appear in my forthcoming book, Which I am glad to say I have finished editing and is now completed.
