2008patinated bronze and epoxy stoneMonogrammed FXL, stamped LALANNE, dated 2008, numbered EA III/XXX and with foundry mark Landowski Fondeur under the muzzle

Condition

Very good overall condition. The epoxy stone presents with a few stains and a few traces, including a larger one on the bottom of the ship on approximately 20 cm. The patinated bronze presents with very rare and very light instances of wear and with a few very light instances of oxidation, all consistent with age and use. There is a tiny loss of patina revealing the original colour of the bronze on the upper part of a leg and a few irregularities to the bronze, inherent to the making.
