This is a genuine 18 Cardiff cork knob. There is some minor soiling from use, but it's in good condition with no major scratches or missing pieces. I didn't like the gold-colored cap used on the Cardiff, so I believe I swapped it out with one from another model. Of course, it's a Shimano genuine product. The cap is also in beautiful condition with no scratches. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. No returns, refunds, or exchanges (3N).
