Condition Report
The casket displays some general wear including surface scratches and other contact marks. It is heavily tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish. Remnants of a sticker mark to the underside, also residues of polish to some areas. The hinges appear in working order, however the lid does not close properly so that a small gap remains when in the closed position. The Assay marks are clear and legible, full marks struck to lid and base and part marks to other areas.
