Hi Cenen,

I received the photo you sent of the decal on your board. It's a cut out from the original Bing Australian Foil decal, which also included the words “the Foil” in large letters. Your board, like many of them, only had the Aussie shield/flag part of the decal on it. I've also seen some Foils that have a different, but complete, Australian Foil decal that does not have the Australian shield/flag (maybe from after Keith Paull returned to Oz). People have always been able to order their boards from Bing with cut up variations of the current Bing decals, so there are many interesting versions of each decal out there.

Please read my response to Paul Grossman from a few days ago, which covers some of the history of your board. Most of Foils were shaped by Mike Eaton and Dan Bendikson.

Tom
