SRC Member Nautical Posted November 15, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 15, 2005 there are seven frags altogether. at least that's what i can see, but may be one or two small ones hidden. as to the varieties, i could see either four or five diffent types. for those who have pmed me, i apologize if i did not get back to you as i really don't know how much to sell for. with a unique piece like this, it is hard to determine the price.
