The Most Expensive Ones Have An All Ivory Shaft (8620)
What I mean by that, above the fold of the handle, the shaft is more often than not wood. This one is ivory. The original lace on this one is exceptional, I can't imagine the delicateness of the work. The inter cover has a great pattern, but is split in several places. I haven't decided wheather I will replace the inner cover. I don't have a lot of confidence on where to draw the line on keep and replace. Some are easy, this one isn't.
