More Information

General condition appears reasonable but the movement does not tick when wound, there is some discolouration and slight loss of silvering to the dial and chapter rings, there are bad scratches to the dial glass and some more minor wear and tear to the wooden case surrounds. See images for guidance. Personal viewing always advised where possible.
