AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition

The AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition is praised for its comfortable 39mm proportions and the warm, evolving character of its bronze case, with some noting the potential for undesirable bronze patina.
