The tap pictured is the exact item you will receive. I try my best to accurately represent the items I sell and to document any damage. Taps are sometimes dipped in-house with oil-exuding plastic to provide protection from physical damage and corrosion. Photos are taken both before and after dipping so that you can see the condition of flutes and teeth. Please reach out with any questions are requests. I will consider reasonable offers for orders of multiple items. Thanks for looking!
