This stunning creation by the Jostens company pays tribute to Guy Lafleur and his fabulous career with the Montreal Canadiens. The number 10 that Lafleur made famous while performing his wizardry with the Habs is front and centre on the tableau and includes 18 diamonds. Set onto a large red stone, it is encircled by Lafleur's name in sloping letters, along with 1971 (the year of his first game with Montreal) and his initial retirement year of 1985. One shank has a raised “560 Career Goals”, while engraving on hockey stick blades below makes references to his Hall of Fame induction year (1988), his five Stanley Cups and the major individual trophies (Conn Smythe, Art Ross, Hart) he was awarded while forging his legend. The opposite side features an image of the old Montreal Forum before its renovation in 1968, Lafleur's facsimile signature above and the date his #10 jersey was retired in 1985 below. Lafleur's signature also is engraved on the interior of the band of the size 10 1/2 ring, which is stamped Jostens 10K. Limited-edition tribute is numbered 1/10 and is in beautiful condition, with some minor scratches and wear visible. A large flip-top wooden display/storage box (approximately 5 by 6 by 4 high) with golden facsimile Lafleur signature is included, and it exhibits minor scuffing/scratches. An LOA signed by Guy Lafleur will accompany.
