Thank you John and Brian good to know 50k of mk1 were made and my being 2528 serial its likely first or second year of production hopefully. Shoots really nicely so i am chuffed to bits with it and keep plinking daily as i cant put it down. Cant upload attachments for accurate valuation but no bother price is irrelevant as its a gift from a friend and i wont sell it. Thanks again gents. Dario
