Condition Report
The owl appears in good overall condition, displaying some tarnishing and general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. A few minor surface dints and some loss of surface detail to areas of the feather decoration. The head is a good fit, seam line slightly visible. Hallmarked to the bottom of the tail and also to the head. All legible although the marks on the tail are more difficult to read due to residues of dirt and polish.
