Yes, David, Robert, I made a mistake with the model. I have in my files Cerceda’s peacock from a square, and the model depicted in the ad shown by David Mitchell is from a banknote. Yesterday Michel Grand wrote me noting the mistake. He said:
I think you have made a miss-spelling about the year of creation (1975) for the Cerceda’s Peacock... Because the model is published in “Secrets of Origami, The Japanese Art of Paperfolding”, on page 178-182. And the first edition of this book is : 1964... But, the model is also in Adolfo Cerceda’s “Folding Money” published in 1963... Probably the first diagrams is by Neal Elias (nr 297, so before 1961) but saddly I don’t have in my library his dvd “The World of Neal Elias” to know the exact date.
