Sure is a beauty. Very nice find.  What gen holder is that? Sure looks like an old one. Ive not seen any like that one yet.

This is labeled as NGC 2.1 in Conder's book, it is worth noting that this slab actually precedes the gen 2.0 holder.   You can tell the difference between a gen 2.0 and a gen 2.1 by the reverse hologram, on a 2.0 you will see a shadow under the hologram but not with a 2.1.   That is because on the 2.1 the hologram was printed on the insert inside of the holder the same way the gen 1 holder was, while on a 2.0 (and gen 3) it was printed on the outside of the holder and thus will cast a shadow onto the white insert.
