thanks for your replies gentlemen!

i was expecting answers like this. specialy about the eagle. i was hoping a little that the collar tab can be ok. but the price was ok anway and i know the seller for some years now. sometimes he got some nice stuff, but he told me that he dont know about these things either.

Yes I have many many years ago but then some of the guys like me never had the world wide wait to fall back on . . .
all we had was dodgy books and word of month and endless night counting stitches.
This day and age most people have everything that they could possibly want at their finger tips . . . .
I have also been ripped off a couple of time its a ruthless hobby if you don't have your head screwed on.
However if you are going to indulge in this hobby may I suggest you research research and get counting those stitches . . . .
and familarise yourself with the good and bad and the reasons why !!!!!
