Condition.
Excellent condition, there is a small repair to one of the shoulders, although this can only be seen with a magnifying glass & not with the naked eye. This can be seen in the photographs above, due to the fact they are so magnified. Light surface marks that are consistent with genuine age, use & polishing.
