A shimmering hammered silver finish defines this 1 oz (28 g) specimen, showcasing the classic "Crystal" silver scale texture. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this Eppinger Dardevle (product code 1605) carries the deep-stamped heritage on its concave underside, clearly marked with the Detroit, U.S.A. origin. The metal surface remains bright, reflecting light across its textured facets intended for a distinct wobbling action during a steady retrieve. Looking at the hardware, the split ring securely holds a sturdy treble hook. The condition is rated 4/5, showing only minor surface contact marks that don't detract from the high-shine finish. This specimen features the characteristic oblong teardrop profile that has made the brand a staple since Lou Eppinger's early days. The back of the lure is finished in a polished nickel tone, highlighting the legible maker's marks and the iconic branding stamped into the metal.
