Yes, they can help. The darker the colour of a 375-crown-shield is, the older is the piece:Jyp wrote:Rather than feeling jealous, I would like to know if differents torsos/shields can help to date classic sets. For example, are pink 375 shields older than purple ones?
old - medium - most recent (still old, since the "yellow" Castle was discontinued in 1984)
The dark shield is from the initial release, 1978, the light pink shield with the dark grey shadow beneath the crown is from the last edition. When they did change the colours in between I don't know.
