*  4499 Minifigure, Weapon Bow, Longbow with Arrow Drawn Parts: Minifigure, Weapon {Dark Brown}   *  4498 Minifigure Arrow Quiver with 2 Arrows Parts: Minifigure, Body Wear {Dark Brown} Concerning these two parts specifically in Dark Brown.... I recently acquired set 6073-1 complete in the box, and it looks barely touched since it was opened. All the pieces are in like new condition and all the feathers are still on the sprues and the pamphlet is even in the box. Curiously, the bows and quivers are dark brown instead of the standard brown, or at least they appear dark brown compared to standard brown parts I have. While it is hardly proof that this is a possible source of these pieces in this color, it's a pretty strong indication. I just thought some people might find it an interesting find.   *  6073-1 (Inv) Knight's Castle 390 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 1984 Sets: Castle: Black Falcons
