Grant,

Very nice. Boy or girl??

Seriously, very nice piece at a great price. These 57's are beginning to interest me.

Wish I could have gotten that RK Marc was selling!!!

Hi Guys ,

Thanks for the comments , yes i did get this cheap but the photo on the description was really bad and i thought i,d take a chance and 15 Euro was a good price for a late production stay-bright glittery horror !

Nice one.

Cheers.

Can you provide dimensions? Looking at the pics I can see casting flaws which would suggest to me that these are a cast copy of a '57 set.

Could you point those flaws out ? Is it the pitmarks at the back you are thinking of ?

Thanks.

Hi ,

Thanks for pointing these out , i have looked under my jewellers loop and their is a flaw where your first arrow is ( the upper one ) and it almost looks like a paint ripple ( a side ways y ) . On the second arrow i cant see a flaw and the back looks ok , their is a hairline going round the edge .
