			I can't answer about balance comparison with the Gibbys...it's been so long since I've held and played one, I just don't remember. This one feels well balanced to me, not too awkward. My best guess at this point of year would be 1974. I haven't had the time to open it up for pup numbers....cancer has surfaced within the family here recently. It's difficult to find the time to do anything that isn't necessary at this point.
