SERRATIONSThis massive upper has very deep & sharp 100% full serrations. Surprising survival of serrations immediately near the root where they bend slightly back towards the root - in most megs those are missing. And this bend is a clear indication of an earlier type of megs (a couple of million years:)) - in it'...s own right. In professional terms - No damage to the base of the blade edges - a trait only seen in the best teeth. Tip is excellent.
ROOTMassive root is all natural in near 100% survival order (very rare for Indo teeth). Excellent detail and form, original texture, uniform brown colour. Smoothly transits to bourlette over the characteristic hump. Solid, dense & stable.
BOURLETTEBourlette is original in excellent condition of it's 100% survival surface. Real rarity: goes all the way to the edges' extremes both sides (becoming really tiny). It is Terracotta Tiger in colour with dark brown veins. Smoothly goes to root via a charecteristic hump.
BLADE ENAMELNo enamel peeling. A small single hairline to the side visible on both sides with no effect to stability. Interestingly the triangle here of lighter colour is original tooth, not an alien inset. The proof can be seen on the root where the same line is differing two colours of the root and the serrations on the scirt are going deep into the root - unusual feature.
BLADE COLOURWhat makes this one outstanding is it's rare gold brown colour with flames of fire on the tip. At a certain angle you see gold and rose shades - absolutely unusual play of natural colours.
FEATURES & ANOMALIESDeep double wrinkle on one side giving you a wink:)). And a different colour triangle skirt - very unusual!
OVERALL CONDITIONExcellent in our opinion. Symmetrical crown.
