Condition

The tip of its feathers along the chin area are very-well restored. The overspray extends to the neck area. Both wings are restored; restorations are very well done and it is difficult determine the exact spots of the possible breaks. Both talons are restored. There are at least two tail feathers, each with a restored chip to tip; however the overspray extends to adjacent areas making it difficult to determine other possible chips. There are overall occasional minor touch ups to the enamels.
