Possible small repair to the top margin. Two pencil notations to the lower corners. Paper stock lightly toning throughout. Colours strong. Overall, a very good example in an attractive period (good condition).

In very good, original condition with attractive mellow patination and rubbing to the highlights as to be expected. Clearly stamped and still retaining much of the original browning. Clasp and release firm and operational.

Rustic, oxidised, barn find condition. Both irons riveted shut and rusted over. Appear to be complete and good condition otherwise. No bends or twists.

Oxidised patination throughout. Swivel still rotating. No key present so unsure if still operational. They appear to be stamped with "3" on one end and "32" on the other.

Slight dent near the edge of the cartouche on one side. Surface wear visible throughout (to be expected with age). Small area of plating rubbed through near the handle. Still presents very well.
