Price drop??!! Mosaic and anodized damascus carved pearl Suchat folder

[ElementalBreakdown]

Like new, vintage Suchat Jangtanong mosaic damascus and carved black lipped abalone, pearl, and jeweled hardware. Carved backspacer and details, everything hand fit- been in the collection for a decade so there should be no more aging or worry about any inlays developing issues from age at this point. Smooth thumb stud opening. Purchased in his early days when his work was substantially cheaper, and that is reflected in the price- it's NOT a "second" or in any way blemished, purchased directly from his USA partner with original black velvet box but no paperwork (there was none included except the bill of sale). Also available is a mini version that was purchased at the same time, any collectors of this work can PM me for details if you would like to consider both pieces together.
Asking $469 shipped priority (to lower 48), Paypal FF preferred, no trades.

Willing to drop the price $25. Still including shipping at that price. Willing to consider up to half the price in trade .
Most likely Robert Calcinore Mosaic Damascus as far as blade steel, and the colors are absolutely stunning as seen in the pics. There is no Photoshopping or color/color saturation adjustment or fancy lighting - the photos are what it looks like in hand.
