In the winter of 1993 Gebroeders De Wit had their final auction 140 birds were sold in this auction.

De Wit's best racer "De Goeie 838" was bought by me.

With De Wit's recommendation I also bought his best young breeding couple:

NL88-1876101 "De 101"
won 4-1340, 6-2854, 6-1593, 8-1740
Sire: 83-117541 Zoon Reims, Nic Janssens

This pair bred for De Wit

NL89-1352525 "Het 525"
won 1-3871, 2-743, 2-857, 1-269, 2-310

In Taiwan these birds bred sensational racers. After I wrote about these super pigeons in Taiwan's magazines, Piet V/d Merwe's "De Blauwe 630" was later sold to one of our competing loft in Taiwan.

If these were the only good pigeons bred by De Wit brothers I'd not have considered them as super pigeons. In addition, De Wit bred 3 famous breeders for Willem De Bruijn :

• NL85-1340340 BC Cock bred from a full brother of "636" is sire of at least 5 pigeons and grand sire of at least 11 National ace-pigeons in WHZB National Ace-pigeon competition.
