I've owned this piece for years and it looks great no matter what kind of light illuminates it. It's VNM, given a very small dome tick on the rear of the top. The previous owner had neatly glued the two parts together and I simply left it this way since it displays perfectly as-is. The two parts line up just about perfectly, even looking up the pinhole...nice and straight. Asking $175 and that is USPS Priority shipped anywhere in the lower 48. No-fee PayPal is fine. Satisfaction guaranteed. PRICE REDUCED TO $145.00 SHIPPED. Thanks!
