Condition report:
Overall the silvered surface is quite worn and oxidised, now uneven and quite speckled with oxidisation. Please see additional images of the mark and surface at www.bellmans.co.uk.
The stamped mark to the edge of the bronze figure seems to be consistent with other examples by Lorenzl during the Interwar period and later in his lifetime. Apparently 'Real Bronze' was added for export purposes when materials needed to be verified.
