N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. About a 10 x 4 mm chip to the front right lip has been filled and coloured. Couple of little glaze nicks to the upper lip. Series of small flakes to bottom of the lip, mostly at the front. A little grime which will clean off. Body is really good, this is quite a decent example. 2. Repaired. Some form of restoration. Texta to base says Rep Lip Chip. Lip is GREAT! HOWEVER, the entire white rear section has been painted, the paintwork goes around the shield so the print is all original. I think a large rear base and lower body chunk has been repaired as a a minimum, maybe this is it with the paint purely to blend this in, but maybe there is more repair work up the rear? Nobody will know unless they strip the paint. Looks good on the shelf as is though.. Estimate: $50-80
