Mr. S.A. Kitch
his likeness
Dag is in excellent condition with original seals intact. Full leather case, a design which I think is considered rare. The case is intact though the leather on the spine is a bit delicate Dag has a tarnish ring and a few random tarnish spots but no damage.
Shipping: First Class mailer or boxed Priority Mail.
