If there is no such thing as an MK Rainbo, we're gonna need a DNA test on this guy.

it's a rainbo alright, but not MK.

pelt rainbos usually have a general construction of two pairs of ribbons "hugging" or "wrapped" around the marble. often you'll see that they don't sit precisely around the equator, but that they nudge upward. this makes it so the 'bottom' ribbon is around the middle - exposing the butt of the marble, and the 'top' set is sometimes so high up that they appear to form a patch on the pole (around the 'neck').

think donald duck and his unique wardrobe 'malfunctions' Laughing

looks like a Pelt to me also, But Chris has now made my head explode. I always thought of the 2 seams as the top and bottom. Yet her post made sense. !!!!
