Yep ... a Fantasty Piece...

Yep ... a Fantasty Piece... Unfortunately...

It is shown as such in Fred Stephen's "Reproduction Recognition" Book - with a new updated version to be published at the end of 2007 or early 2008.

It does look 'Good' ...... but it's a Fantasty .......... Txs, Dave/dblmed

Although it may be a fantacy piece, seems very cool and well desinged/made. Very cool.

I heard that they were built in England in the 70's off of original unused dies. I was told the design was rejected by the party and never produced????

Any truth to this or legend????

100% original. Well, original post war fantasy piece. They do make interesting pieces however. Not my taste, but to each thier own.
