IMPORTANT NOTES:
For transparency: There is a small enamel asymmetry. A small piece of wing under his arm is lighter on the left side than the right on all of the pins. This was in my artwork from the start, not a production mis-fill, and took many months to notice. This will not be counted towards B-grade but this said I have considered it in the pricing which I've opted to keep the same as the original pin release (from 2022) despite the production cost raising over 50%. Thank you for your understanding.
These have been graded but please understand: These are very large and expensive to produce pins with many hand mixed and filled enamels and difficult processes. I gave the manu over 6 months to produce their best quality work but that said some variations/imperfections/marks are to be expected due to the handmade nature on any pin. Many of the red chrome version have clear epoxy between the wing tip feathers (this is very hard to avoid). Due to the high complexity of this design they are generally only B-graded if marks are in particularly harsh location or severe degree. I have looked over them personally to make sure they meet my standards.
B-grades may not include the custom box! I will ship them with the box until I run out but a few will have to be sent in alternative packaging.
Gold is hard enamel, chrome is soft enamel +epoxy due to plating limitations. Stained glass enamel sections are always thinly filled for extra translucence.
These are limited edition! This colorway of this exact pin mold will never be produced again, no matter the demand. No, it won't be back with a different metal plating later either. This is it.
I handle the boxes kindly and ship them securely in bubble mailers, but some light scuffing can happen. These have been lovingly designed and made to order specially for these pins. I hope they all arrive safely but the box is not guaranteed to be in mint condition as long as the pin is safe it has done it's duty.
📦INSURANCE: I will be insuring all of these packages out of pocket because these are irreplicable and high value I will be buying extra 3rd party insurance beyond anything built-in for peace of mind. If anything should happen to his majesty on his journey to you please let me know and I will do everything I can to get the insurance claim through with your help but please understand if the claim is denied for some reason, I can't personally refund these especially if they are marked as delivered but I will do what I can to kick up a fuss and get him found!
