Working mechanism for raising and lowering the blade.
There are a few little marks at exposed edges etc. but still an attractive example in complete and functioning condition.

The striped Supertoys box bright, clean and complete. No splits or graffiti. Minor wear only. Excellent vibrant colours throughout.
