Tall_Paul Messages 4,667 Location Torquay Wednesday February 8, 2012 #1 Have just mistakenly bought another #66 So it may be appearing for sale here shortly! However, on weighing it against my other one I've noticed that this one weighs 77g and my 'old' one weighs 73g. Is this disparity in weights quite common, or is this something other than a #66? I've done some research as I thought it might be a #70, but Achim's site doesn't seem to indicate it is.

OP Tall_Paul Messages 4,667 Location Torquay Wednesday February 8, 2012 Thread Starter #3 Having just checked, it is different to my other #66 in that it has II stamped under the head. A lot of argument on B&B as to what this means, and no common consensus (as far as I could see). And it's definitely not a #16 as it has a diamond baseplate. EDIT from rereading this post at B&B it looks like everyone thinks it's a #70. Case closed. It's a #70. Post 12 in this thread confirms it. Ah well, I wasn't particularly after a #70 but it's nice to have something a bit different.
