Lerebours Serial Number - Rice Writing

[Steven Tribe]

Yes, I added it to the register just after it was listed!

I was interested but:
I am trying not to buy outside the EU, as EBay listings involve Pitney Bowes - who refuse to accept the existence of the reduced import VAT rate of around 5% for EU countries for antiques and “collectors items”. I pay 35% effective (25% VAT + fees)- which is Little more than I wanted to pay for this sized landscape achromat. Lerebours was making quite a lot of retro pillbox at the time.

The advertisement reads: "Located in: Friesland, Netherlands" ....I tracked the seller and indeed he is living in a small town in Friesland
