ITEM NOTES: This is from a CAA collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MAJJJK23 LBIIEX07/31/23 SBHGJX08/01/23

CONDITION: 10- (Near Mint): This wing is in near perfect condition. It appears to have been dipped in silver cleaner by a previous owner, so I cannot be 100% certain, but I think I see some extremely light wear on the highest points of the wing. So I am erring to the side of caution calling this Near Mint instead of flat Mint. 

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
