Condition

Good overall condition. The wood presents with a few scratches, scuffs, small dents and tiny chips scattered all consistent with age and use. The small dents and chips are mostly concentrated along the edges. There are some tiny traces of restorations. The wood appears to have been previously re-varnished at a later date and the varnish presents with some instances of light abrasion. There is some light oxidation on the brass elements.
