It would be even better if it was black ! Is willow a rare colour for a swan ? I haven't seen one before , but think I'll wait to find one up here !

Don't know if they are rare Mike, Willow was produced 1965-1967.

Thanks for the info. Marc, not that common then, I would imagine .It's good to see some excellent photos on ebay for once.
I can't ever seem to walk past a carboot stall, with a lone swan for sale, without buying it , so now I have quite a few !

Stick a pic on the gallery . Have asked around and willow is uncatalogued for swans, so will be very rare but is often confused with twilight .

Thanks Marc, I will post a pic. once my collection has a bit more merit ! Do you think the one above on ebay is willow ? I can't see a green element to the colour from the photos but it looks too grey to be twilight perhaps ?

Hi Mike It looks like a Silver swan to me buddy. This would make it quite early and rare i think. I'm sure someone who knows a bit more about swans will be able to help further. All the best Chris

Thanks Chris, On my computer screen it looks quite a bit darker than silver . If I were a betting man (which I'm not) I would think twilight from what I can see on my screen but it's difficult looking at colour comparisons on a computer because colour settings are different. I do have a 9627 in silver and an uncased, pure willow 9485 to compare it with. The willow 9485 is dark grey with overtones of dark green.....but very dark !
