One of the apex species of the Graphium
genus in terms of collectability, size, and
general lack of presence in private collections.

Does anyone here have any specimens of nominate G. meeki?

Not I. They're out there; a bunch were imported to USA about five years ago and sold for $400 ea.
Here's the description of Gmi, with the difference from nominate cited.

When I think of meeki and "apex" I'd agree, but because it's takes a hearty soul to go find them. As baubles, they're available now for $1500, which is on the low end for a collectible firearm, and peanuts compared to a classic Chevy.
