Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The sprung platform holder is not hallmarked and looks later replaced. Some sideways movement to the hinged cover of the sovereign compartment, the vesta hinged cover does not shut fully flush. Some scratch marks near the press release. Hallmarks slightly rubbed but still legible, partial hallmarks to various sections.
