Condition Report
The trophy displays general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There is some loss of detail to the decoration and engraved names on the main body and especially to the decoration around the foot rim. There are some minor nicks and dints in the metal in places and one larger dint to the base of the main body. Hallmarks are rubbed and partly distorted but still just about legible.
