[QUOTE="brownbear29, post: 286511, member: 5400"] Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help identify a red cape Bib Fortuna I have in my loose collection. I've tried various search terms on here and RS, but not unearthed a great deal. I found something on [url=http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t6221-fake-burgundy-cape-bib-fortuna-they-are-everywhere]TIG[/url] re fake burgundy capes from ~2004 onwards, but I'm confident that's not the case here. Looking at [url=http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/lili-ledy-variants#BibFortuna]Wolff's excellent guide[/url], it's too light in colour to be a burgundy LL, as far as I can tell. The cape appears to be exactly the same as a standard grey one stitching and feel wise, just red. With the exception of a few recently purchased missing pieces (thanks Iain, Bram et al), my loose run all dates back to my childhood, supplemented by a purchase of an old friend's childhood toys back in the early 90's when he needed some cash - most of which I played with as well, so no issues with authenticity. Any ideas or pointers gratefully received. Thanks in advance. [ATTACH=full]137669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]137670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]137671[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
