Very Good. A couple of tiny fleabites to the lip, can only just be felt, barely visible. Half way down the rear body over an airbubble is a 5 x 5 mm shallow chip, with a small impact mark near it. Shallow 10 x 4 mm burst bubble on the back as well near the left seam line. The front right base has a 7 x 5 mm shallow chip with some minor flaking associated as well. Tiny flake under base heel. Light scuffs and scratches throughout. A little bit of dirt within the base area. Quite a nice example of this reasonably hard to get green riley from Melbourne. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $250 - 300
