Thanks for the additional photos. Great discovery.

Amazing! Well done and congratulations!

I suspect there are many more out there than first thought. How many more are sitting on dealers shelves labelled as "unknown pouch" ?

Now that they have been "identified" - the word is likely to spread quickly. Good luck to all you early FJ collectors !

only this forum section made it possible !

Congrats Jens. Nice example.

Congratulations !
How Many are known now ?

[Willi Z.]

Hard to say Xav. Certainly a fair number have turned up in Europe and continue to do so. I have never seen one pop up in the US and mine came from Belgium. This is identification of these for what they are is certainly a good thing for the hobby.

i only know a handful here around, some in near mint condtion, some in similar condition as mine.....

Nice find Radek.

So many of these have turned up in the last few years, it makes you wonder how many more we will encounter. One even turned up in the US a few months ago, the first I have seen here.

Radek,
Could we have a side view ?
