It does have that "sparkle pupa" look to it. Is the gold wire rib in there primarily to reinforce the CDC? It won't be easily seen.Roadkill wrote:Nice looking pattern!! Looks like something LaFontaine would have admired .

yes the gold wire is there to hold the cdc in, which would loosen and move down the shank without the wire.
