1. Good. Stained throughout with etching which is heaviest down the rear. Some annealing marks to right lower lip. A few little impact surface flakes. Some fisheyes and impacts. Some little flakes around the heel. Some scuffs and scratches. Tiny surface flake to mid rear amongst a small spot of rust. Large embossing has a small nick or two, but is quite good. A bit of odd surface etching internally. Oiled as well. 2. Poor. 26 x 12 mm chip to lower front chamber is that deep that it is only just short of going all the way through at its deepest! However, we can better that! At the rear lower chamber is a chip over about 25 x 25 mm that DOES go all the way through forming a small hole of about 3 x 4 mm. Red dirt needs cleaning. Little flake to front base heel. Some haze. Fisheye to front lip. A few other fisheyes. Some scuffs and scratches scattered around. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
