Jim, could you please send me copies of your photos as well? I have one from the Bahamas I picked up in 1972 but the dorsum is all scratched, and I'm not certain which I have. I have the COA issue Henry Lee mentioned, but can't get to it at this time since I left it at the school and my shells are at home.
