L&M-465; cf. K-208 (for type); KM-Y-73.2; WS-0642. Frozen date issue with plain 4. A wholesome and elegant survivor of this "frozen-date" issue, the present specimen features gunmetal gray toning and some golden hints shimmering throughout. A bit of peripheral striking weakness is observed, but not at all distracting.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
