As title, I found this General Yo Five Star, but both the seller and I have no clue which edition this is… it looks like a German Edition second run with the colours, but the engraving resembles the first run…

Any help would be appreciated!

There weren’t any blasted first runs, so it’s definitely a second run… which one exactly though? Not sure.

I think so too, the colour matches the Germany dark green and purple edition, but the engraving just makes it confusing…

I contacted Ernie for you… as soon as he catches my message, he will give you the definitive answer.

Here are some pics if my German edition I had. Pics were taken in 2012 so clarity isn’t as good, but to my eye, the purple on yours looks darker rather than the pastelish purple on mine. I much prefer the purple on yours. Or it could just be the same color from different cameras.

And yes, different engravings.
