Condition
Very good condition overall with minor surface dirt and minor dents consistent with age and handling. The bronze has a copper medal colour which may indicate that it has lost its patina. The spire in his raised proper right hand is missing and the weapon in his proper left hand as well. A few lifts, chips and losses to the veneer on the later wooden base.
