Hey guys, I started a thread on RS and haven't really received a great deal of responses, and only one person confirming owning such a landspeeder variation. Trying to cast a wider net out to the UK/European communities to see if anyone here has seen this variation of the landspeeder before, or has one in their possession. I've roughly counted 4 including mine since beginning research on it about a month ago, which includes an eBay listing, someone who posted about it in 2012 on RS with no replies, and the RS member responding in the thread confirming he has one as well. I really wanted to get a sense of whether this is an obscure/unknown variation for reasons that others haven't noticed it, and probably explains why there's hardly any mention of it anywhere. It appears the hand stamped "PAT. PENDING" also is accompanied with a serial number - at the moment, I only know of it being stamped under the hood. I haven't been able to confirm if it's possible they may have alternated between hand stamping under the hood or on the seat as well. They are hand stamped using steel molds, and the lettering on the PAT. PENDING and the numbers on the serial number are raised, not engraved:
