This is a Recording King RK85 #73 5 string banjo that I recently received in trade. It's in excellent condition. Only two issues (and thus the low price) are a repaired heel (see photo) and that the inside label is missing (see photo; presume the label fell off). The RK 85 is a flamed maple banjo with a one piece flamed maple resonator back. Flathead tone ring. Inlays are all intact. Wood--aside from repaired heel--is in excellent condition. This is now a discontinued model, so is becoming a rarity. A lot of banjo for the money. Comes with non-original heavy duty hardshell case.
