Comments/description: USBC L43-35 OI 148. Tough semi-metallic variation! R7 rarity on-grade like this, with only about a dozen or so quality examples known. Not as deeply lacquered and metallic-looking as the highly metallic USBCOI 145, but a starkly different and shinier look that the usually encountered duller enamel gold finish. Beautiful example with just a couple of small marks and some dings around the area of the trade mark info on the bottom front. Nice bright hardware as well. Would be very difficult to upgrade given the condition and scarcity. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
