Yes Maurice, you get a gold star! ;-) What do you mean, "Not still up and running"? It's still alive if that's what you mean?
Next Showa had a little bit of 'root' sumi along the lateral line, and one black scale on the side of the shoulder. Most of you will recognise this from the Koi-Bito "80cm Quest" article. Note in the inset pic, that the Sumi is starting from the root of each scale, not the tip. Also notice the problem with the Hi plate on the shoulder. This is something that Showa are very prone to, and the reason for choosing Showa with a well formed Hi pattern.
