L&M-244; K-90; KM-Y-145a.6; WS-0827. Thick "HAH" variety. Original surfaces are alive with iridescent amber and magenta gray patina that flashes to life when examined under bright light. Wear is minimal and can only be witnessed on the very highest points of the dragon, with bountiful luster evident under the color. A minute scratch at 2 o'clock enters past the English legend, long since toned over and easily overlooked. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
