The obverse of the cross, a little paint lifting and what looks like some rust.

That's a fine looking set mate. Lifted from the run of the mill "hoard" 26's with the carton. Love it. Congratulations.

Dear Laurence,

Very nice piece. Hard to find them in the original carton.

The 26s seem to all share the "problem" of paint lifting on the black core. It is really hard to find one without any lifting. As an aside, from my understanding, none of the Russian horde pieces came in the outer carton. So this would be a piece that just happened to stay minty on its own.
