Galanthus elwesii 'Hollis' on eBay

No idea who the seller is but it sure looks like this one on eBay has stag!  What do you think?

My test for stag. is to clean up the bulb and remove all the dead outer layers.  If the bulb is still stained then it probably has stag.  Since none of the bulbs being sold on eBay by 'greedyuk' have been cleaned, I find it impossible to tell one way or the other.
Almost in Scotland.

Alan  - The Hollis  unlike the others - which I just now see - seems to have had its tunics removed.  It appears as if stag has eaten away two spots, from what I see I'd be binning it.
