FD816
French Dinky 816 Berliet Gazelle Missile Launcher. Very near mint/box (wear). With inner packing. Rare. From a large private European lifetime collection.
Notes
This is a rare French Dinky item, issued between 1969-71. In matte olive drab military finish with grey plastic launcher, red and white ‘Nord Missile’. Painted concave hubs.
Obviously hardly used, there are just a couple of small marks visible if you hunt for them!
Typically the box for this model (when you can find one) gets very easily damaged due to the softness of the card and the weight of the truck. This box is bright and quite clean with a crisp feel to the card. However, both large end flaps have been deliberately cut and one end flap is a little sunfaded. Minor start of a tear at an end flap crease.
The inner card tray on which the model sits is complete and bright. Looks very fresh (one small tear only). Complete with the nearly always missing packing piece too!
