2 Thin restaurationson the arrow : one at the beginning of the thin part of the arrow (solded) just above the head of the athelete and the other one situated above the elbow on the arrow . Scratches as regular signs of use onto the rocket, whose silver gilting is worn from place to place contributing to the whole patina; Very nice green patina of the athlete. A few tiny chips onto the edges of the base. Very good overall condition. 2 discrètes restaurations sur la flêche: une au départ de la partie fine de la flêche (soudure) juste au-dessus de la tête de l'athlète et l'autre au niveau du coude, sur la flècle. Rayures d'usage sur la fusée dont la patine argentée est usée par endroits, contribuant à la patine d'ensemble; Très belle patine verte de l'athlète. Quelques minuscules chocs aux arrêtes de la base. Très bon état général
