TELLING THE DIFF. BETWEEN THE THREE RAPALA TYPES

[jmcfish10101973]

I THINK WE NEED TO START A TOPIC ON ALL THE DIFF. RAPALA TYPES.

1. MADE IN IERLAND

2. MADE IN FINLAND

3. MADE IN ESTOINA

WHY YOU ASK

I WAS LOOKING AT RYAN'S TOPIC AND SAW A SSR-5 IN SD THAT I DID NOT KNOW WAS MADE AND THIS WAS THE ONE. THIS ONE WAS MADE IN FINLAND.



NOW THIS IS THE ONE I THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE WAS MADE IN ESTIONA.



IF SOME ONE CAN FIND THE ONE MADE IN IERLAND AND OR A DIFF. VARIATION PLEASE POST UNDER THIS TOPIC.

PLEASE LOOK AT THIS VERY CLOSE THE SCALES OF THE FINLAND ONE GOSE ALL MOST ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BELLY.

AND

PLAES LOOK AT THE ONE MADE IN ESTIONA THE SCALES ONLY GO DOWN HALF WAY DOWN THE SIDE THIS IS A VERY GOOD WAY TO TELL THE DIFF. BETWEEN THE TOO.

THANKS
JOHN

P.S. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO COLLECTORS AND TRYING TO COMPLETE A SET.

I WOULD LIKE RYAN SO MUCH FOR SHOWING ME THIS

JOHN

P.S. RYAN YOU ARE A BIG HELP

[jmcfish10101973]

ALSO ON THIS I WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO ADD THIS TOPIC TO THE HOME PAGE IF YOU CAN I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG HELP TO RAPALA COLLECOR'S.

THANKS
JOHN

ALSO ON THIS TOPIC THE ONE'S MADE IN IERLAND AND FINLAND HAVE A SQUARE HOLE IN THE HANG TAG NOT A OBLONG ONE LIKE THE ONES MADE IN ESTIONA.

BUT

SOMETIMES YOU WILL FIND ONE''S IN A NEW STLYE BOX FROM ESTIONA THAT SAY MADE IN FINLAND OR IERLAND BUT ASSEMBLE IN ESTIONA.SO BE VERY VERY CAREFULL ON THIS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO COLLECT ONLY THE ONE'S MADE AND PACKAGED IN FINLAND OR IERLAND.

IF YOU NEED HELP IN ANY WAY ON THIS PLEASE ASK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE

JASON,RYAN,TED,STEVE,ME,NIKO,WOLFGANG,MARK,JIM AND ANY OTHERS THAT I CAN NOT THINK OF.
