Condition Report
All three figures display general wear, surface marks and scratches and some tarnishing. Also various minor surface nicks/dints in the metal. Some of the ropes on the junk are loose or missing. Struck mark to the central sail is clear and legible. The wheels on the other two figures are in working order. Some slight loss of detail to decoration in places. The end of one of the horse reins appears to have broken on the Russian figure. The two struck marks on the bar at the back of the cart are slightly distorted but just about legible.
