Here is a wonderful all original near mint condition 8* serialed early no USA Link.  These are one step after the double rings and functionally they are very close to them, sounding and feeling nearly identical, and maybe harder to find.  Photos show the high baffle that is common with these, probably higher than double ring on average. 8* is a hard to find size in this early model.  Tip measures .111 for me. This one is in great condition with original ligature and plays exceptionally well. It will not last long here.
