This CHE was delivered to me today and it is better than the photos. The colors are very subdued and not nearly as bright as they appear in the photo. The floorplate fits flush...I think the photo just made a reflection that looked like an edge. Overall incredibly happy. The wood is fabulous and the wood to metal fit is perfect as well as the checkering. It appears to be unfired since restoration. Now I need a nice leather case. Where do you get an ivory bead that resembles the original ? Joe
