I wish I had... Unfortunately none. Is it a quarry split?
philgoddard Feb 14, 2011:
Is it totally out of the question that it just means "with parrot design"?
And do you have any pictures - or is the catalog online so we could have a look at it?

agree philgoddard : I think it must be this, though it gets very few Google hits. Also, it's one of the most expensive options in your reference.
