in very good original condition. This is a detailed piece, with 2-mace, 2-axe and 2-shields, the whole surmounted by a nickeled helmet with engraved brass face plate. The front shield is deeply engraved with a lion and a falcon, the rear shield with 5 stars accented with scrolls. The time only movement has a cylinder platform intact, but would benefit from service. The intricate cast dial has numerals painted on and with some wear and with fancy cast hands. Height 19" $900-1200
