Condition Report

Generally a good patina. It is broken across the tongue at the site where the tongue has been nailed to the lower jaw during manufacture. The same applies to a break to the (observed) right canine tooth near the gum.

The ears are still in place but are a little loose.

Generally, the condition is good but shows paint loss and the odd scar acquired over the years.
