The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout due to age and handling. Some minor traces of nails to reinforce the veneer. The gilding of the rim of the top is rubbed. The leather has been changed and the quality is very good. Nice model.
