Condition report: Both in overall in good condition with no obvious sign of repair. Some minor scratches, dents and dings as to be expected.

Henry: A little distorted to the bottom rim due to overenthusiastic hallmarking! Stand hinge rather loose. Menu retaining clip a little out of shape. (Probably) Original stock sticker in place to the reverse.

Elizabeth: A little distorted to the bottom rim due to overenthusiastic hallmarking! A little crease at the end of the bottom menu retaining rail. Stand slightly off centre. Remains of (probably) original stock sticker in place to the reverse.

Case: Exterior a little scuffed, more noticeable to the underside. Interior in good condition with just a little wear to Elizabeth's and Henry's 'head area'
