Condition
Overall good condition with minor scuffs and darkening/oxidation to bronze commensurate with age. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request.

Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
