1. Good. Upper right rear had a flake which has been ground back, the grinding area that is evident is 30 x 20 mm. Rear chamber had a chip as well with grinding work over the main centre part of the chamber. Quite scratched internally to the rear. A few pitted scratches. Other scratches and scuff marks scattered around. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Some nicks and spots of wear to some of the embossing. Looks good on the shelf. 2. Fair. Polished. Nibbled flake to inner front right lip has a crack down from it to the washer groove. Little rear inner lip flake. Flaked chip next to rear dimple. Large nibbled flake to rear upper body has been smoothed over a little. Another flake to left near rear base edge has been smoothed over. Heavy crate wear across embossing. Remains of impacts and fisheyes throughout. Some nicks and flakes around the base. Pretty worn in general, this was obviously worse for wear prior to the polish which has marginally improved it.
