CR 1.13.26 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 3012- the box is in sturdy and stable condition and securely housing the fitting at this time, metal mounts shows some surface wear, and abrasions, the inlaid medallion at front case is with a stable crack and there is a wood loss above it, see images, handles are securely attached, the case further exhibits typical wood wear, interior fitting is present, the dial does show some surface wear, when the key is wound, it just turns, so it appears that the spring is broken, however I am not an expert and we did not open the back
