Alex,
So are the reproduced ones gen 2 or 3?!
What have I started here?!
Thanks

Gen 2 I think (or Gen 1 if you only count non sticker indent as Hutch ones, like some people seem to).
I think I read that they are making the new ones using the actual tooling, using the same stock thickness sheet, and in the exact same way. Pretty cool really.

Yeah, but although we have already exposed mistakes in their website, they could well have got the tooling, and some of the very first protypes made in 1979. ???

Only joking Alex , it's just that it seems the makers can't get all versions in the pic/order that were available :LolLolLolLol:
I'm guessing 79 tooling was non indent , repros are indent .
