Since personal taste is always different we offer different Green guards, so we hope everybody will find his personal guard to his needs!
The "Green23" Guard was ordered autum 23, this guard has the lightest Green with a hint of blue like the old new Nitrate Guards, this guard have thickness of .09 inch/2,4mm, a light bleeding opac toplayer - the black middle layer bleeding into the greenish toplayer, its the most visible bleeding effect, since the top it thinner compare to the other guards. vintage routermarking for sure. The Green23 guard in our opinion looks best in New condition, NOS or Standard aged, since at Smoked aged ones you dont see much of the natural color, which is the main focus at this guard.
