the difference between a G6 and a VG8 buff is not easy to determine. this one could go either way. I like that a small amount of the horn is there. one thing I always look at on these is the top end of the feathers where they cross. the edges of these are still defined as well as the hair on the top of the head which looks more like a VG coin so I'm going with VG8

Most attractive, but I'll stay at G-06.

it could go either way. there are some markers that are G6 like the braid clasp and back fur and other markers that are VG8 like the feathers, hair on top of the head, roundness of cheeks, brow and jaw.

i'd say the obv is a solid VG8 reverse G6. when its this close I go with the obv since thats what shows in the album so I'm still at VG8

I'm with Frog on this one, G-6. Another disappointment.
