In very good to excellent condition, far better than the average for wartime documents of its type. It has been folded in for storage as was
customary but has only very minimal separations along the folds at the edges; the paper remains strong and sound. There are none of the
typical repairs on the verso. There are two very faint water stains along the middle horizontal fold and the normal age toning, but the
certificate is overall very clean, free of significant soiling, foxing or fingerprints.
