Prototype 36 - Lined laquer


Here is a French-made BP with an orange-colored laquer material in a lined pattern that is similar to the Ambassador.  Upon closer examination we can see that the cap band is engraved with the 20-micron inscription denoting the thickness of the goldplating on the brass base metal.  Perhaps this one started out  as a GP Godron?

Note that the orange laquer mater is in the inscription on the cap band.
