Ed Saunders styli are made in Switzerland and are hand fitted to the cantilever using a shadowgraph, rather than machine fitted as is done for the replacement styli made for Shure in Mexico. www.edsaunders.com/shurestylus.htm.

I have not included a close-up photo of the stylus, simply because the stylus is mint and unused, so such a photograph is unnecessary

I do not have the original packing, but the cartridge will be carefully and securely packed.
