Please grade the specimen quality

[lamprima2]

How would you grade the quality of this Euchloron according
to Bill Garthe’s standards (A1 to B) or using any other system?
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't look symmetrical to me.
Maybe it's an illusion.
I think the specimen looks fine, and without obvious  flaws grading becomes subjective, unless you can send it to
a professional grader, like a comic book, where there are industry standards.
I also think it's a  dicey topic without knowing the reason behind the question, for instance undermining 
someone's credibility, or an opinion on how to grade something you've captured or raised.

Ok……straight from the horse’s mouth…….imho, it’s an A1-. There are a few light rubs on both FWs and on the abdomen. It’s a fine specimen nearly A1, but not quite.

It is a beautiful specimen and species, wish I could collect one of these

I agree with A- as the scratches on the left forewing are easily noticeable as well as a small divit on the same wing. Also looks like the right side antennae may have been glued on as it looks out of symmetry with the left side.

Better than A-, not quite A1.

Antennae are fine to me. My main complaint is the uneven lift of the wings (right side set higher up than the left).

A good specimen, but not quite great.

I hold some personal "tough" standards for anything I buy, catch or keep. The evident wing-marring which is present on the left forewing (costal region) along with the other minor wear rates it as an A2 quality specimen with me.

Of course, I relax my standards a little bit (more) if I'm dabbling with rare or hard to get items which I may never see again.

I say it’s near perfect. Has four wings, not been hammered, no fingerprints. It would be a top 10% in my reference collection
