Condition Report
The trophy wobbles slightly on its base, the gilt interior is very tarnished and the gilt is worn away around the edges. There are some nicks to the rim of the cup, two that are more noticeable. The engraving is very detailed and clear. The engraved line around the rim is very rubbed and has completely gone in places. The detailing to the handles and the base are rubbed and has gathered areas of polish but still shows detail. There are areas of tarnishing mainly around joins and to the inside of the cup as mentioned before. There are slight wear and tear scratches commensurate to the age of the piece. The hallmark is very rubbed but still just legible.
