    Its true then, that a "Leopard" really can change its spots. Abrams earlier Leopard skin Drummer uniform, got steadily better and at the "end" was nearly equal to old Jack or Thelma Duc Eastleigh themselves.

    Abram's Ducal Painting clearly showed his competence and ability to achieve acceptable, and in later sets, very acceptable results. Some minor issues over cuffs, straight lines, some Leopard spots. All very minor, all his sets here were of a saleable quality

    We discovered after the fact of purchase, that the Simon family had an "unexplained fire" in Australia, and that accorrding to David Love , "Some Moulds and masters were lost". We did not know about this "fire" until we later on after cargo arrived from N Z, corresponded with David James...

    We can recognize Mountford (Ex david james Love) by the quality and design of toolings. However the kaputniks mixed up the surviving) Rosedales with Jock and Ruby Coutts Under two flags range and Mould toolings.
