cool. Always glad to be proved wrong :)

I'll have to check through my quiver collection now. Its a piece which I
always seem to have more than enough of
I didn't have any blackfalcons with the head facing the other way, so I'll
probably have no luck with this either :(

(...) I have a few of these darker bows and quivers as well. I have never purchased a clone brand so I am 99.9% sure that these are genuine Lego parts. I will try to take a pic on my day off. Will (23 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)
