Hello Kai,

Like the others I think that I am correct by my dating, compare the example in question with this two big examples from my collection.

Hello Detlef,

I know you've seen one of these before, but I have near twins of your two examples in my collection.

Have fun,
Leif

Hi Leif,

Yes have seen it before. The last one is indeed an exact twin of mine, the other one is similar!

Best,
Detlef
