Thank you so much my friend CC for your kind words!...regarding the name...
... of this variant, the line story of the Sea Dweller starts with the first commercial series with a double inscription in red (actually it has two lines in red and two lines in white) which is much coveted by collectors today as this first series was short and rare today.
Then the inscription was changed to all four lines white which is the "standard" inscription, and collectors who are fond of giving nick names to the different variations call DRSD (double red sea dweller) to that one and "Great White to the other, probably for the massive looks of the Sea Dweller and association with the big White Shark.
Thank you again for viewing and commenting my friend! Cheers! Abel
