There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use.  The frames are regilded.  Looked at from the reverse, there is a small chip at the upper right corner (viewing left from the front) on the reverse of both pictures. The chip is visible from the front on the panel inscribed '10' on its reverse. The right hand side panel of one frame is replaced. There are old inactive worm holes in both frames. The panel inscribed '9' has a scratch across its face: this does look to be a crack but there is no sign of the crack running through to the reverse and therefore is likely to be a surface crack only.
