In fairly decent condition for its age and years of use. Old surface scratches throughout consistent with use and handling. Appears to retain the original winding pins, though the bridge pegs are likely replaced. The neck appears straight and the body appears free of any significant warping or cracks. There are two minor areas of separation visible at the waist of the body where the back board meets the side panels, but fairly consistent to both sides. The bridge is replaced and there appears to be an old repaired crack in the upper right corner of the bridge.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
