Description:
My favorite Oliver variant by virtue of its lush green colour and painted on brand name. Pushing it over the top is its exotic faux animal skin travel case plastered from top to bottom with stickers from the era.
Type action is typical Oliver (or Patria to give credit where it's really due), which is too say it's lovely. Light, tight, and built for speed.
