Hey guys,

Anyone in here recalling how many different coo's exist for the white fur Chirpas? Is it two or three? I know, that there are different spears (light brown v "normal" darker brown).

I have spent too much time on the PBP/Poch stuff for the past few years LOL...

Hey Kenneth,
i'm sure that either A.J or Alex, or some of the other more knowledgeable guys on here have the definitive answer,
but I believe its three coos that have the white fur variant.

Thanks for the reply Chris! Yeah something tells me, that it's three. I havn't discussed the white fur Chirpa variants for years!

Yes, I believe it's 3 Kenneth.

4 White Chirpas. Left to right, Coo #4, #1, #5, #2
I haven't seen one with Coo #3 James?

Or maybe 4?

Roger is right. It´s 4 COO´s.
The last four in the picture are white furs.

Just when I thought I was down to missing one!

Thanks for the replies guys! Seems like I'm missing 3 of these instead of two... On the other hand I have two arriving soon, so hopefully I'm soon only missing one or in worst case two. One of these was really cheap, so I just hit the BIN button LOL.

i got 3 of them , only missing one of the NO COO variants :)nice topic BTW

so is it just Ledy and TT that didn't come with white fur variants then?

That would suggest possibly five white fur variants?

Hi Chris,

I only count 4, since the Euro no coo variant with raised bar LFL 1983 left leg/raised "blank" bar on the right leg doesn't seem to exist in a white fur variant. I could be proven wrong of course, but I have never seen a single sample of thar variant as white fur.

Javi, Which of the two no coo white fur Chirpas are you missing? I have one no coo all ready, and I have one arriving soon (Spanish childhood collection actually). There is hereby 50/50 chances of a spare and if it is, there is a 50 % chance, that it's your missing one...

Cheers Kenneth,
I have those :


the one on the middle comes from spanish childhood collection aswell

Cheers!!

Beautiful white fur Chirpas Javi! I really love this variant. You btw have a PM...

Hi everyone

Just thought I'd add this to the mix. I think I have two more COO's for the white Chief Chirpa, both relate to the size of the raised bars compared to the last two images above.

The first has a slightly shorter end towards the top of the copyright info.



The second has a shorter end towards the bottom of the COO.

Yes there should be 'mould pairs' for the 4 different CoOs.

Most legs are produced in pairs, so you will see slight differences.  So Teeksolo has done a great job showing the small change to the leg markings.

I'll use Steve's picture as another example-  'Meccano' Fett is to me one variant, but with a pair of left legs and a pair of right legs- that makes 4 potential versions of the same variant.

AJ already answered, but I wanted to add, if you look at wolff's coo guide you will see certain coo numbers with an "a" and a "b" this is showing the mold pair.
