Re: The two-line DD of Mr David FAGAN for my collection

Thank you Eskil, these three pictures were made by Mr FAGAN in february and
it's really amazing... About 18000 manufactured but not many informations.
Apparently three variations.
In any case, it's very kind of him. I hope he will not regret.
