Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

There is rust patination throughout and staining to the armour and halberd heads.

There are dents and scratches to the metal and wood plinth, commensurate with age.

The wiring that holds the mannequins and armour together will need attention as the ‘metal’ is worn/rusted.
