Near 7 inch drotops trilobite for trade

This trilobite would be around 7" if prone. It had poor restoration done to it which I removed as best I could. There may be one or two small patches of restoration that I missed. In exchange for this trilobite I'm interested in all offers, especially high quality complete fossil fish, other high quality trilobites, and medium to big European Ammonites.

The cephalon has been composited from another specimen. 

I could be wrong but I believe it is one complete trilobite. I removed all of the overlying restoration material and all of the white now is original rock. I think maybe the left eye may have either been reattached or is a composite, but other than that it seems continuous

Matt, 

Can you show us a picture of the ventral side, where the cephalon meets the thorax?

Looks like the same rock on both sides with a bit of stabilizing fill in the middle but I could be wrong.
