Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are sporadic areas of oxidation to the patina and evidence of light handling and wear along the surface is observable. The welding between the frontal surface of the work and its support structure has loosened slightly. The mechanism runs smoothly and freely. The hinge opens with great ease.
