Hi Tom,
Thanks for the Ladysmith show. The blue one is my favorite. I have one like it but with a factory re-finish.

I've never seen a Rossi Princess so that one is interesting as well. I believe the grooving in the flutes was a production expedient. Polishing those little flutes from a machinist's perspective is difficult and time comsuming to do well. By milling with a grooved cutter a smooth milling cut and polishing was avoided.

Thanks,
