T IN A CIRCLE APOLLO - X BY ARTO

Hi Paul,
Here is the T (in a Circle) 425 Apollo-X! This is the same toy as the previous APOLLO - 11 and the SATURN 5 in a German box, only the upper side fins differ in colour. It works too. The box graphics are so into Moonflight '69 that it must date from the early 70's. Curious is the glossy finish on the box, which is much more shinier than the other, more matte - like "T" boxes. Makes me think this is later than the other SWORD-related boxes. Or is there still an earlier "T" box variant of the same?
Cheers, Arto

Thanks for sharing Arto. That's real beauty and in marvellous condition. One more for the T in a Circle Checklist! Swordtastic! (words in italics inserted by me. Woodsy)
