Condition Report: Tiny chip to right hand arm of the C.B.E - by the edge. The C.V.O is in good condition, the back is numbered C1028. Both cases are in good condition. The Norwegian award - top enamelled arm has what looks like a small impairment but it is simply the design on the top of the crown. We have not been able to examine the left arm of this award because of the court mounting. The back of this award has never had enamel. The dress miniature awards - The red centre of the miniature C.V.O has what appears to be a chip but may just be a flaw in the enamel work. There is a tiny chip to the top arm of the Norwegian award, otherwise as far as we can tell, the enamel work is in good condition, but it has only been possible to look at those parts of the fronts which are not obscured by the court mounting. The medals are otherwise in good condition. Please note that the miniature of the 1914-15 star is represented by a 1914 star with Aug and Nov scrolls. Otherwise all in original attractive good condition.
