Overall good condition with shelf wear, scattered minor scuffs, scratches, and inherent firing flaws commensurate with age. Given the age of this item, as it is likely 18th century and possibly an excavation find, this item has the breaks and wear one would associate with an object of this age. There is an obvious break to the ends of the mustache as well as a break where it was once previously mounted. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
