The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this lot acquired after its initial manufacture.
- Overall in very good condition.
- A few minor losses of minute flakes of nashiji.
- The lockplate is lacking three small metal pins resulting in it being slightly loose - the pins could be easily replaced.
