It does not come through the top. See pictures 13 & 14. It has a few tiny nicks to the bottom edge.
See pictures 15 & 16. Some gold loss along the very edges of it around the whole thing. It's not bad but there nonetheless. See pictures 17 18 19.
Handle is in great shape. It's signed on bottom in blue KPM. Also has numbers I think. I have not seen anything else like this. Reasonable offers will be considered.
