Helo Dodegy,

Wonderful!
I would say that was in original condition. The paint is surprisingly
good. I think Pope paint quality was always very good.

Pope side-catchers all looked pretty much the same, and they do appear
from time to time on auction sites. Mind you, the side catchers were
never fitted as standard; they were always accessories, and seem not to
have been advertised in later brochures.

Hope this helps.
