Hi all, I've found some Chalwyn Tropics for sale near me but they look somewhat different to the traditional ones I've seen. I've been restoring a Far East but the globe holder has snapped so on the hunt for some more for use in photography. Can anyone give me any insight as to whether these are "real" or not?

Hi Michael. They look like the later/cheaper versions. There is a bot of a history of Chalywn dotted about this site. Chalwyn - not all tropics are equal - spot the differences Chalwyn's older story and more
Chinned it off in the end and picked up another Far East from eBay.. I’ve managed to put the one I was restoring back together with cable ties for now.. needs a new globe holder desperately but overall I’m happy with how it came out for my first little restoration project
