Condition

Illustration is quite accurate. Varnish has turned white on the front and the right sides; it has also dried up a little (scattered chips and minor losses). Bronze mounts slightly tarnished and rubbed (especiallly the rim). Leather top stained in places but with a nice colour. Very nice model which would benefit from a slight restoration.
