2. Originally the C5 Malvern was only available with the lowest grade 2824-2, and the Aviator had a higher grade 2824-2 with CW-engravings. But I believe this is going to change and in the future the C5 Malverns will have the same higher grade 2824-2 as the Aviator. Any idea when? Because I'll prob...
