It has a large "SR ROYAL" crest (about the size of a quarter, with what looks like a circle of leaves and a bow) on the front of the post. Surrounding the rest of the post (and the crest), completely covering the area above the insertion line, is an interesting array of machined slots and circles. The post also has a fairly large slot cut completely through the head, all the way down to the top of the shaft. Very cool look. Okay, okay, probably too much info. It's probably hard to picture. I'll try and post a real picture.

I have seen a few of these Wayne. One of the importers (Euro-Asia Imports) is not far from my house.

There was a matching SR ROYAL bar and stem with the same array of machined slots and circles. Beautiful stuff indeed!
