Hello everyone,
I got this non modified Smirnoff de Czar bottle (Ebay, $87 base price - rather low I think, more with shipping & taxes, sadly)
I was surprised by the microscopic writings on the top :
I wonder why almost all the red color faded so much or is non-existent. Is it more sensible to light (because all the gold stuff is totally ok), or did they make variants ?
(The base says "liquor bottle", and there's a "2")
This one looks less "flashy" than others I've seen, more "vintage", huh. 
Has someone here a bottle where the red layer of the label is better to compare how the top looks like ?
Anyway, that's a good test for your eyesight... (looking at the bottle, not the photo)  |

Thanks; found another nice looking "Vintage Smirnoff", hoping to post photos soon. (even if it's not strictly BR - hell, I started a "Kyriazi" cigarettes boxes collection because of BR2049  ) |

Here is a vintage 70's (?) Spanish Smirnoff bottle, still full.
Etched back
Label & cork (under the cap)
Back of a "basic" 21 Smirnoff purchasable in France
And finally the Three Smirnoves
