The lot was in excellent condition.
The only caveat is that Adams WILL charge VAT even if you are outside of UK and EU, so be aware of that.

Total buyers premium 37 % vs 30 % advertised
The auction house charged me an additional 5 % when on LiveAuctioneers they state buyers premium 30 %, saying this is asked by liveauctionees and not them. Furthermore, they charged me an additional 2 % due to foreign credit card. Very disappointed for paying much more than what I was expecting.
