[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In Laney's Collector's Guide (2005) I find the following. "Only one black M2-R, No 1,207,000, was made by Weltzar, in 1968. A black example which apperared at auction, No 1,248,646, was a chrome one rebuilt in the U.S.A. with a black chrome top plate and other parts supplied in error."
