B2Gs New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/07/2020 5:59 pm New to this community and thought I'd start big, hopefully! I noticed mine has the same markings on Kennedy's neck as the one that recently sold as well as very sharp edges almost like a bevel. Any help would be greatly appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Don't ruin my hopes yet lol! Thanks for the warm welcome guys Report this Post to the Staff
