This replica paraset belongs to Gaetano who lives in Sardinia.

It was given to him by the family of a friend who had died.

He says his friend bought this replica in France in the late 1960's, and used it for some 40 years or so.

Gaetano said his friend "tinkered" with it over the years and probably had repaired it as well.

We have never seen a replica as old as this one.

Twenty years old yes...but not forty years old!

Do have a close look at the pictures, we found them most interesting. Do you know who built it? If you do, then please tell us!
