A complete run of forepart irons by one of the best French workshops. Complemented by a nice selection of waist irons, seat wheels and some less usual finishing irons makes this set suited to all standard work and adds for the possibility of trying more specialised categories of work, such as covered heels.
Very good condition overall. A few elements showing some pitting but remains cosmetic.
Entirely cleaned, brushed and oiled.
