I have been well pleased with mine. It came packed in cosmoline.
Best regards,
The Swiss experience is very instructive. I've read a book by the Swiss Major H. Von Dach. You might want to pick it up. Lot's of handy tips in there.
I had a very hard time cleaning my first Ishapore up. All that Cosmo is tough to get out of all those nooks and crannies.
For the next two I found it came in pretty handy.
Best,
L
