Additional Notes & Condition Report
appears to be in generally good condition; there is some uneveness and slight bending to the blade on the sword, however, not of great consequence; typical dulling to the patina, consistent with age; there is a small visible difference to the patina on the figure's back on his proper left shoulder blade area, probably the result of the adding and then the later removal of a metal rod for wiring for conversion for use as a lamp that left a faint "scar" in this area, however, it is not immediately noticeable and the color of the patina is nicely matched; there does not appear to be any evidence of a drill hole for wiring or evidence of a drill hole that was plugged or filled; there are some scattered small green colored mildew spots, not of great consequence; there is some old dirt/drip residue, located on the proper left hip and thigh area
