Gents...

Just had a bounce around the net and found the Acme Depot pics of an original Poughkeepsie. Have seen a BR repro
with an amazingly accurate label. The size tag on the original, however, has been imitated in this instance with a stamped
40 in ink under the label. WWII style lettering. Nickel Talon on the repro. AAF decal on the shoulder. Was wondering if anyone
new the vintage of the BR Poughkeepsie. Price new was Y120,000!! Anyone with some archived pics??

Thanks for your time...

Bombed out of the race for it at Y53,000. In the off chance it was snug i did not want to push it.
