Hi,
I have one question regarding the following auction at ebay: does anybody know whether it might have been edited by Herge / Moulinsart?
Thanks in advance,
Konja

This is not official merchandise.
...And it's a pretty hideous jumper

While your confidence in the membership is very flattering, konja, isn’t the simplest thing to do to message the seller (who after all will know more about it than the vast majority of people here) and ask them for details of when it was made, and where it was bought?

Whilst I’d tend to agree with hagen8 that it isn’t the sort of jumper I’d personally be happy to be seen in, the fact that it isn’t, well, exactly beautiful doesn’t actually mean that it is wasn’t made officially, back in the day when there were lots of manufacturers churning out product.

Hi hagen8, hi jock123,

I personally do like the jumper. But I think it is just a question of taste ;-) Perhaps I like it even more, as not soooo close to the original way Herge did his drawings.

Regarding your proposal, jock123, I thought that some people here in the forum might know something about the background of this kind of clothings. Just because I assume that there might be people that have similar things already at home.

But I will take up your proposal, and ask the seller himself!

Bye-bye,

konja
