No worries my friend, I did get the S/N from posts on other boards.  I only asked if you had posted her here because she's a *dang* fine Albanian!  clap1

Awesome G1957!  I had the '67 gun in the list, but the others are all new.  thumb1

I would love to see photos of these girls if you're ever bored and feel like sharing.  I never get tired of seeing different Albies.  dance2
