33a Code2/3

I have been working on my 33a's , Thought it was time to see what I have , duplicates and so forth. Here is a pic in progress but the real reason for post is I came across a model that had been classified as a code 3 but As I was looking I noticed front and rear axels were different ie front are FC and DC , Has anyone else seen this particular variation and if so is it a common variation ?

Is it possible it's a fake?

Hi Rooster,
Welcome to the forum.
Re your mixed axle variation, I have one exactly the same, flat head axles up front and dome head on the back, It's in the first picture on this page.

Although original and very desirable it does not have a code simply because it is classed as an error piece,

Thanks for the reply , That's good to know. I'll mark it down as a 2/3 error piece , I'm glad I noticed as I was thinking of selling off as a dup.

I try not to list error pieces as they would clutter up the listing tables, There are so many of them.

Just for my cataloging , I list it as a code 2/3 , it helps me keep things straight .
