At long last! Very happy with item
I had been looking for this particular item for a number of years, and of course this particular firm came through, as they seemingly find all the good stuff. As usual, they'll be getting my business in the future, too.

I was hesitant at first.
I never did this kind of auction before, but I won two of the 4 that I bid on and the process was seamless. Fast secure shipping as well. I'll be back.
