Repro 1st model drum

Well, the drum was sold to a friend of ours. If it is an original, then Paolo got a good buy and the rest of us were wrong. If it is a repro then Paolo paid too much. I would have stopped bidding at $400. But it sure would be nice to get Paolo's opinion of his purchase just to satisfy my doubts. Ah-h-h! if I could only sit on a belcony in sunny Italy with Mauro and Paolo, over a fine glass of Italian wine and compare my type 1 Trommel mag to theirs with an occassional glance at a classically beautiful Italian lady. Maybe a couple of my artillery Lugers for me to out and out brag about. These are the things that dreams are made of. Too bad that our Big Brothers in the government business won't allow us three gentlemen to relax and enjoy. Oh well, maybe I can put something like this on my future 'to-do' list.
