I have 2 g1 hounds and they have different markings/writing on the underneath. Is this normal? For those of you that have one, what are the markings/writing on yours. Thanks for you help.

Mine says Takara Co Ltd, Japan 1980-1982.
I don't know if its normal, Jose will know. Did you check if the second is a reissue? I think the reissues are stamped with "China".

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.
