Excellent condition. The enamel is essentially flawless and shows a magnificent luster; there are only a couple of tiny hairlines and a single microscopic flake to the white border, all of it completely invisible to the naked eye. The details of the artwork are perfect and extremely crisp; the original fire gilt finish is visible in recessed areas on the obverse and completely intact on the reverse. The screw post is full length, over 9 mm, and includes the original screw plate maker marked "Artistic Engraving Factory".
