Thank you for viewing. This is a classic mouthpiece from Bach. The engraving reads: VINCENT BACH CORP. 12 It's a small letter model. It has a gold-plated finish. There are scratches on the rim, cup, body, and shank. The gold plating on the shank is thin, revealing the silver plating underneath. There are no major scratches or dents that would interfere with playing. Please refrain from comments asking for a price reduction. Immediate purchase is OK.
