Excellent. Has had a fine oiling inside, although it looks like it was not necessary. A couple of spots of grime on inner base. Tiny sliver to upper right lip, this can only just be felt and is extremely minor. A few minor scuffs. Some fine scratches. A few tiny impact marks including one to base heel. 4 x 3 mm shallow flake to rear near base edge on the N of Malting, a little white mark inside this looks like an inclusion, so this may be a making mark. Remains of some padding that was placed under the base as a form of protecting the bottle on the shelf. A superb rarity that is in great condition, this is a must for any beer collection. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $3500 - 4000
