G'day,

I think the valentia looks very suspect to me.
I have three of these and this looks nothing like mine.

I wouldn't touch any of those shells listed.

The only dealer I would by Philippine shells from is Richard Saing at Phillipine shells.
His family/ friends collect the shells and he provides reliable data.

Be interesting to see the feedback given for these deals.

Regards,
Simon



Check out some nice painted shells on ebay and see if you agree with me.
