    in the bucket too!

    @privydigger - well, yes. I'm an ardent collector since many years, so yes - I got fooled several times. On the other hand some collectors have been incredibly nice with me and I have made some true friends. That's the more important thing :-)

    Which one is a KV-10 ?

    I find Kuhn's Poison Workbooks are generally very helpful. However, it sometimes happens that I am not 100% sure when trying to identify a poison. E.g., I am not sure whether a KV-10 has four embossed skulls as on the first attached to this post, or whether it has two embossed skulls (as on the...
