I was going to toss this one on Ebay and thought I better check for VAM'simage


Is this a VAM-1A ?




Stefanie



Its difficult to see the line in"6" because of the toning.
And, the doubling inside the ear.

    Looks like a 1A to me or maybe a 1A1.

    any closeup's of the hair to see if there is a clashed st present

    I think I might see the clashed n in front of the neck on the full sized photos
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    Yes, there is a clash mark at the neck but its very difficult to see any other
    clashes. I took some images just in case.

    I still feel uncertain at times on VAMs that I havent held in hand yet... with that said though if I were to attribute it I'd call it 1A1.

    Maybe someone else will be along in the morning who is a little more seasoned than I and can add absolute confirmation.

    Yeah, looks like Die 2, which is a bit subtle. Follow the hair just above the ear back to the bonnet. It should have a weak spot with a dot in its center.
