I've lived in Colombia for nearly three years, and travelled all over South America. I always try to have a rummage in the flea markets and antique shops but have yet to spot a Curta. I had high hopes in Uruguay, but no joy. I think that some local knowledge would help so I'm wondering whether Eliseo has any useful pointers! | ||||

My curtas are from Spain, France, NZ, US, GB... Murff, "La Curta de Cúcuta!" what a nice piece!. Love your webpage... the best curta pics ever. Eliseo | ||||

That sounds like a nice idea! I have sent you a message. I saw a Facit C1-13 for sale in Usaquén last week but it was in poor condition and the trader wanted far too much for it. I still keep looking though... | ||||
