1986 Harrods Bear

[Peter Wilts]

Hi,
I am new to this site so please “bear” with me. My wife and I collect the Harrods Christmas Bears, (I once worked there), and now have all of them from 1987 – 2010 bar that elusive 1st bear 1986. I am trying to locate this bear and would love to hear from anyone willing to sell it or advise me of the best way of obtaining one. I understand from other collectors that this 1st bear did not have a year stamp on its paw and is known as Snowy. I have seen photos of said bear with a year stamp on the paw. Would this be an impostor?
Any advise/help greatly received.
