Mark Looks OK to me, would advise exercising extreme caution if buying certain items off ebay,I thought I was fairly conversant with how they should look having collected on and off since the 1970s but still got caught . Chas

This thread is now useless as the ebay link now links to another item from a different seller!!!

if you follow the link it does indeed take you to a different item. However, at the top of that item in a blue bar is the wording: "The listing you’re looking for is no longer available. Check out this similar item we found for you". if you click on the word "listing" in that sentence (on the ebay page) it does indeed take you to the item in question.

This is a relatively recent change in the way ebay deals with completed listings
