 | | Re: Help with part inventory for Lego Samsonite #021
|
| (...) Hi Manuel, First a few things about the Samsonite sets. Many of the European sets from the 1950's and 1960's had a parts list ("beipackzettel" in German). I have never seen one of these in any Samsonite set. A question for you on your 725 (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.general)
