Two bruises to front right base edge. Small bruise near front base up the body slightly. Crate wear to rear embossing, front embossing is very bold with minor nicks. Scratches and the odd scuff mark. A few fisheyes and minor marks. This is the first of these early examples that we have sold with the impressive embossing. 2. Very Good. Some minor upper lip wear with a couple of little flakes. Two small nibbled flakes under the heel. A couple of surface nicks to the body. Some scratches and scuffs to be found. Generally quite shiny. 3. Good.

Couple of little flakes to upper lip, one at the end of a pitted scratch. Some grime. Little pitted spot or two to left lower body. Couple of pitted spots to right base edge. Some scratches and scuff marks. A bit of crate wear to the upper embossing, most of the main badge is quite good though. We have not sold one of these before. 5. Good. Impact to upper lip has an associated fracture type bruise to the inner lip over 15 x 5 mm. Odd grooves under base are from making. Stained throughout. Scratches and the odd scuff mark to be found.
