CONDITION REPORT
Overall in good original condition.  The case would benefit from a wax.  There are a couple of small chips to the back edge of the cornice.  The dial has a couple of small paint flecks missing.  The movement appears well cared for and would likely benefit from a service now.  The striking ‘warn’ lever is loose for some reason?  With a modern crank key.
