Most likely the RM1999.
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Aha! I was wondering if England would be the conduit through which the Rics were funneled to the rest of Europe in those days!

Rose-Morris was the UK distributor. They may have arranged for some to get to Germany.
Europeans might have gone to England to buy them.

I seem to remember that Rose-Morris had some interest in distributing RIcks elsewhere in Europe in the '60s, I'm sure someone here will know...
Didn't RM distribute Ricks in Italy in the '60s?
