condition
condition
Condition is excellent with a few minor points to note: the stand has had a short hairline at the rim which has been professionally stabilised and a very small associated rim chip filled. The cover has had a firing hairline running just part way either side of the knop (not reaching either edge). This has also been stabilised for longevity. No other damage or restoration and minimal handling wear.
