The tankard stands flat with only typical, minor antique base perimeter alignment waves.
- Patina & Hallmarks: Breathtaking visual character. The untreated pewter retains its gorgeous, authentic original dark grey antique matte patina with beautiful, honest localized oxidation clouding, surface micro-scuffs, and minor impact tarnish marks consistent with real field use across the centuries. The core four-shield hallmarks remain beautifully crisp and legible as explicitly documented in our high-contrast studio close-up bench photography. Completely sanitized, deep-cleaned, and entirely odor-free.Ships quickly and exceptionally well-secured inside a heavy-duty, rigid cardboard shipping box wrapped meticulously inside multiple thick layers of high-density bubble padding and custom corner void-fill to completely protect the delicate thumb lever hinge and preserve the unpolished antique matte patina from any transit friction or courier pressure.
