Excellent. Lip has some little flakes to the front that can be seen in an area 6 x 1 mm but really amounts to just a bit of roughness. Original cork in place. Some minor scuffs and scratches on the body of the bottle. Labels are a bit torn and small areas missing but largely intact. Very unusual early gin with original labels in place. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $100 - 150
