Condition Report
The box displays some general wear including surface scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Slight loss of surface detail to some of the plumage decoration. The hinged lid is in working order, although it is a little loose. Several heavier scratches, contact marks and minor nicks to the underside of the lid. The Hanau marks are a little rubbed and distorted but still legible.
