| Note | At virtually 130 mm, this magnificent giant, (the ONLY brevifrons of the JES Collection), is of exceptional quality for such greatly advanced size and age. Its presence is enhanced by its being ultra-clean, with no encrustation, nor erosion, rendering its external surface sculpture readily discernible. Of additional merit is its rich colour, clearly delineated in spiral bands. Retention of ultra-large original operculum. From the ‘old days’ of Florida availability. For the Muricidae specialist, or collector of giant sized seashells. Size: 129.8 mm (length). Grading: F++++; w/o.
