fine item, professional packaging with super-fast shipping. Very well done. RECOMENDED SELLER!!! Would definitely purchase from this seller again. Great selection of merchandise, great communication. Have shopped at their brick and mortar in Frederick for years back in the 1980's and they are consistently still providing high quality merchandise at excellent and fair market prices. Can't complement enough!
