Condition: My copy of this catalog is new and in very good to excellent condition, overall. The binding is tight, both covers and all interior pages intact. The interior pages have no rips, creases or writing on them. There is a crease to the lower right corner of the front cover and some of the interior pages have slight bends in this same spot. The bends do not interfere with the legibility of the text or the images.
Note: It would have been impossible for me to scan any of the interior pages without altering the condition of the catalog. The image I have used in my listing is from the front cover and shows a Roman Imperial Bronze Figure of Helios from 2nd/Early 3rd Centuty A.D.(Lot #100).
