I liked it and got it very reasonably.

Any opinions or comments are always appreciated.

    Nice! And with the reverse die break that seems to be standard issue on most 39S walkers.

    Looks pretty high end, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it were in a 66 holder.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I quite like it but I'm no Walker expert.
    Slightly above average strike?

    At some point I'd like to hear your opinion with a handle like "Walkerfan". :)

    Okay, I think that the strike is way above average for a 1939-S. Thumb is great and so are skirtlines. Only that secondary smaller branch stem line off the index finger is incomplete. I've seen 67s that are way softer. It's likely been dipped but looks to have some decent luster remaining. Surfaces are super clean, too. But I'm partial tho..... ;)

    Thanks, and you're correct----it's practically a diagnostic for the issue, as more have that die crack than those that do not.
