Hi Henk,

Besides the good books..............to take part at this forum would do also!!!!!!

It was offered earlier for much more money as "buy it now", maybe that's the reason that someone thinks it must be a "superb" item and give so much money for this.

PS Henk, hope not to miss you next time!

Regards,
Maurice

Hi Ben,

I absolutly agree with you, but when you have no idea what's old or new, it looks very reliable because of the adventurer with the big hat on its head. He looks like Indiana Jones.

I wonder why there where no bids on this one Willem.
I think when you have this one you are the only one in the world who has one of those.....

Regards,
Maurice

But does that make it "reputable?"

I like the hat. Wonder if he would sell it?
