Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers would like to draw potential buyers attention to that several countries outside the EU bans imports of items containing materials from endangered species. This catalog number is to be covered by such provision, potential buyers are advised to familiarize themselves with these rules
The tortoise shell damaged on one side. The blade stained. The gilding almost gone.
For the purchased lot we require an import permit from your home country authority.
