Condition
The plaque has been restored. Examination under UV light reveals restoration to both sides. On the upper surface this has discoloured very slightly and there are some fine cracks still visible as well as a few minute scratches to the printed area. On the underside, a few fine scratches are also visible. The silver mount and box appear to be in good overall condition.
