The aging and overall appearance are reminiscent of some boutique "aged" guards, though I cannot verify whether any additional aging treatment was performed. Please refer to the photos to judge the color and patina for yourself.
Perfect for a Custom Shop build, AVRI restoration, or anyone looking for the warmth and depth that only a quality celluloid tortoise guard provides.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you'd like additional photos. Thanks for looking!
