As for the 1953, it's definitely one of the better pieces that they make -- I just wish that they'd not put the ridiculous looking lollipop end onto that seconds hand. One of the biggest selling points of the 1953 is that it lacks the infamous “Invicta” graving on its left side, and while many enthusiasts like to complain about it online, few people would actually notice it IRL, and if they do, the chances of them gawking at you because you got fruit from the poisonous tree are very low.

I feel like this is just the vintage version of the 8926, so im sure it will last a long time, and provide a good platform for modding as well.
