OVERALL CONDITION |
excellent but with several casting bubble pits. Clearly this was quite a gaseous mix as there are several little bubble pits including to the rear hinge plate and a larger one within one arm that has been attended to, probably at the time of manufacture, but has left fine casting fractures visible on the outside. Nice hinge action. |
