Prospective buyers should be aware that some countries have limitations on importing items made from endangered species, including materials such as coral, ivory, and tortoiseshell.  Therefore, it is advisable for potential buyers to familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations before placing bids, particularly if they intend to import this lot into another country.  

CONDITION REPORT

The case is in good condition and appears to have recently been repolished and waxed.  The movement is unrestored.  There are no gut lines on the fusées.  The backplate is lacquered and discoloured now.  Formerly verge escapement and now anchor, with resultant later bridge cock and pendulum.  The movement will require a major service and clean.
