This stunning creation by the Jostens company pays tribute to Guy Lafleur and his fabulous career with the 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 pristine condition. A classy large flip-top wooden display/storage box (approximately 5 by 6 by 4 high), which exhibits minor scuffing/scratches, includes a golden facsimile Lafleur signature and the forever-popular hockey hero will also sign a letter of authenticity to be included with this breathtaking ring.
