Condition Report

Condition:

The overall condition is good though the fur around the neckline has worn short with some minor discoloration and the satin facing of the back right collar is splitting. The front right edge of the opening where the collar ends is worn bare for 1". The lining has some small green spots on the back near the shoulder line and the bottom right front hemline has some dark spots in the wool geometric design. There is a small hole in the right under arm seam of the lining. Overall, there are darker spots noticeable under the fur however that is inherent as the pelt was naturally colored that way.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. All other condition issues are stated above.
