Glen that is certainly disappointing to see. I know the anxiety of waiting a long time for a fragile product to arrive. If it is dust then it can be cleaned out easily enough. Best discuss it with Istar before proceeding to dis-assemble the lens.
When I purchased mine it came very well packed in paper and a moulded foam shell inside the carton. Mine came with a test paper that looked like a test report but it is kind of a generic thing, the lens doesn't have a serial number. The lens star tests very well.
