Condition

Good clear marks to underside. Nice gauge. The four vacant cartouches to the corners have been erased and the engraving has most probably been refreshed. To the centre their is a faint outline where it has probably been patched and the whole plated over. The colour is therefore a bit bright especially to the underside. Otherwise good condition.
