Suspension is original, but has been repaired.
The piece was converted to a screwback and then converted back, hence the low price. Small chip which does not penetrate to the silver underneath, on the left star point. Several very tiny chips in enamel. Excellent condition enamel overall. Has been cleaned and has the original small screwback plate.
