Notes
A classic Dinky military model first made in 1954, up until 1970, and an essential component in your Dinky military collection. This particular version was their final issue with plastic rollers and a screwed matt black baseplate. In unused condition with a lustrous finish throughout:
Complete with supple tracks, military markings, a bright matt baseplate and a swivelling turret with a straight gun.
One negligible mark away from mint (probably as-made).
The tank is presented in the correct, final issue, pictorial scene, end flap box. Close to shop-fresh with day-one vivid colours on clean and crisp card. Tiny edge crumple.
A very fine example all round and not an easy find, especially in this condition.
Exceptional!
