Condition
Very good condition overall. Faint surface scratches visible throughout the piece. A small area on the front of the muzzle has been sensitively and professionally restored. A few very minor white spots visible and are inherent in the production of the piece. Very minor flaking of the clear protective lacquer on the top front left shoulder and is not visually distracting.
