One-off from the Past-Paratrooper Villager

[Mike L.]

Uncle Bill was amused by this one. Said that the unknown kami was a "card."

Kind of a short BAS? It's interesting history... what's it weigh?

Too heavy for my powder scale.
Too light for my bathroom scale.
Stout and stubby...13 1/2" long, 1/2" thick spine.
Built for bizness.

This one was made by some village guy. At that time, Pala would send Gelbu or someone out to the villages to buy whatever decent khuks they could find. They were sold as village models, cause that's what they were. I believe that this was before Birgorkha was built. I hope my recollection is correct. Ms. Yangdu or someone who has been around awhile might need to correct me.
