  1. Hi do you know if there are fake copies of the lubrication chart circulating? I have one E/122/5 5/64 in such perfect condition it’s hard to believe it’s from the 1960s. The paper seems good quality

    1. 122/5 is the edition which was used to reproduce and sell as modern copies.
      You can find them at various for about 30 GBP. They should NOT have the original PRINTED BY reference.
      The material is different and you can tell once you have compared with an original.

      Having said that, there is a person from Poland who is also copying the other editions but I have never seen such a copy. The original grease chart is solid but also pretty thin as they were folded multiple times and stored within the owner manual.
