Did you know, that the retired Red Armadillo bead had a bright Tomato Red glass over a pale PINK cream glass? Much like the current Blue Armadillo is on a pale blue cream glass. Yes, it is true - the scales are not white, nor the glass raspberry color. Those are just OOAKs.
To be sure, make sure the core is not stamped LAA 925S - the retired Red Dillo was pre-hallmarking days.
Just saying.... ;) Be careful when you are shopping out there.
