Very nice Wolfie - it is impossible to have too many German lids..!! Nice collection!

Hard to tell from the snaps, but they look like restored original shells, rather than repro shells? Is that the case? Have you repainted them yourself, or bought them like that? Nice anyway.. :D

Thanks mate. They're all original shells, mostly 64s, but 2 66s in there too.

I did them all myself, other than the plain M42 (a Grigsby) on the bottom shelf nearest the camera, the M40, next to that one and the apple green M35 (I picked this up at Beltring in about 2001) on the upper shelf.

The two M42s at the far end on the bottom shelf, I have yet to redo.
