At that price, it isn't going to be mine either...
Cheers,

Yes, tidy price but a rare item. It's out of my collecting era, but every now and then I see something I feel like getting just as its a nice example. But like you, not for me. I have other purchases in mind ;-)

Yes a rare item, BUT is it genuine????

I have had the privilege of viewing 5 of these in South Africa (3 in private collections and two in Museum collections) and all of these have been the same. In all cases the title reads "SOUTH AFRICAN AVIATION' curved over a horizontal "CORPS".

This is the first example to my knowledeg where South African has been abreviated to 'S A'. I would be very weary on spending that amount on someone that may be 'fictitious' even if the construction thereof appears to be OK.

Scary price, I'm sure William will be able to confirm if this eBay item is OK?

Found this other version image which confirms Stephens comment.

I have my doubts, it looks very new and I agree on Stephen's opinion regarding the "SA" used on this title.

This is the example I have in my collection.
