    I like that it isn't just the normal head and shoulders profile . I've not seen it before.

    It is rather rare, that spec which Jacquier sold in 2015 is the only one I have seen being offered from the the issue, while the Philippe Gysen sale of September 2019 had a similar one from another officina.

    Like @Victor_Clark I used to have a VSV example. Mine was in quite pleasing condition and almost fully silvered.
