What year was the final edition of the Pathescope 9.5 Silent/Sound catalogue published?

It must be 1958 or 59. Amateur Cine World magazine announced that Pathescope (Great Britain) was in the hands of the receiver in August 1960. Gerald McKee refers to the last Pathescope release as a Hopalong Cassidy film "Doomed Caravan" appearing in January 1960 on page 101 of "Film Collecting." On page 14 of "Half a Century of Film Collecting" he gives the 1958 totals of footage available from Pathescope.

Thanks for the information, Paul.
My latest issue Pathescope catalogue is the blue 1956-57 (first edition) priced at 2/6.
Has anybody got a later issue?
