Thanks for reply MKC, we all have our 'tingle' signs, which I think is healthy in the smallish circle of this type of collecting, if we all liked the same thing wouldnt it be boring.
And thanks to you too Jez, if I'd been there and nothing else had come up, I reckon I would have been tempted around that price, with hopefuly a 'tadge' negotiation. Cheers both, Rich
