Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, light scratches, and oxidation commensurate with age. With a 3" scratch to the verso of figure's leg and a few scattered scratches throughout. Some rubbed wear to the plaque at the base, allover minor soiling and dust accumulation. 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.
