1933 RB-Granada

This is one of the 18 known original RB-Granada Flatheads, shown here side-by-side with its batch sister 9530-4.  #1 from this batch was originally exported to Scotland, where it spent its first 50+ years inside the case.  When brought back to the US in the 1990's, it was as if it was brand new... and remains that way today.  The binding is bright white and the hardware is shiny engraved gold throughout.
