That was a gamble that paid off BIG TIME Nigel! A very nice addition and I agree that it is an EARLY cross. The early quality can't be disputed.
You're right in saying that bargains can yet be found. It takes diligence in searching, but they're out there and for some excellent pieces like this one too!
Congratulations my friend! You've done it again!
