Hi guys,

as you might know, I came across a Papa Magic book with the "magic" written in red letter and the pages with the maths formular at a Belgian fleamarket for 0,50 Euro yesterday.
Since mine has not the writing I know that the "Silan" writting might come off easily and mine doesn't have Silan at all, I wonder what kind of a variation that smurf might be and how to distinguish between the Silan promo and the actual pvc.
The marking of that smurf is "Hong Kong. ©1983, W.Berrie and Co."
One argument for Silan is: Silans are to be found more likely in Belgium"
One argument for the actual pvc is: There might be a variation of that supposed to be "W.Germany" smurf exist.

I will take pics of that smurf as of tomorrow and put it up by Monday afternoon.
Anyone help me, please?

Hi Dom,
I don't know too much about this variation but did you check out Dyar's site? He's got the HK WB but it's not in red writing

Hi Staci,

thanks for recommending Dyar's website. I noticed that mine looks identical to the one with the description:
MARKINGS: Hong Kong W Berrie Co 1983
DESCRIPTION: FRONT VIEW
4. cream coloured Book with red Symbols on Cover,
dark blue Skin .

I don't remember having seen one with the red lettering on it...I'd be interested in seeing a picture when you have a chance, Dom
