[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 8076869, member: 57495"]That's a spectacular reverse type, AA, congrats! I don't have anything from Heliopolis, but I always think of you and your collection whenever I pick up an architectural type. Here's one I acquired earlier this year that I think I haven't shown yet. It's in pretty rough condition and difficult to photograph, but it was a reverse I was after and they don't come up all that often.
