OVERALL CONDITION

generally excellent, no repairs, monograms or erasures. The smaller finger ring would necessarily be flatter bottomed to give a good area for attachment of the claw base but it appears to be slightly compressed as well. Back toe is bent slightly upwards.

FAULTS

none, see just above.
