Re: Photos + 10-8-05
Richard,
If it was original it would be worth it as they are quite rare. However, this one is clearly a copy from either the 60ties or 80ties. The paper quality is far too good, the paper is too smooth and the cockpitlayout fold out page has a glossy surface. Usually, the staples are rusty of original manuals (I own a few and can compare) as they were made out of unprotected steel and 60 years of humidity in the air is enough to put a rusty surface on them. Also, the binding of original Me 262 manuals is different. The difficulty is that copies from the 60ties or also 80ties start to smell like the original 60years old manuals...
Regards,
Roger
