Condition Report
The bottom right hand corner has restoration to the enamel where it has been chipped, otherwise some surface wear, the bottom left pin is missing which attaches the silver mount to the oak back, small dent at the top of the mount, some loss of definition to the martele decoration. It is not possible to observe the corner and side edges of the enamel work due to dirt deposit on the surface, there may be further enamel damage beneath the dirt, hallmark a little rubbed, but is legible
