Couple of tiny touch-ins available only to the gimlet-eyed armed with a magnifying glass!
Note the deeper blue finish on this 3 -rivetted example when set alongside the lighter blue version with 1 rivet and 2 flatter painted cast details (for comparison only):
The pictorial box is very crisp, bright and fresh. Shows minimal handling. Corgi Club Membership Form.
