6th plate dag, teen boy with longish hair and a hand-colored, speckled bow tie. Looks like he's holding a partially opened dag case in one hand.
In half a case. On sight the original seals appear to be good and intact, though I have not disassembled the dag to verify 100%.
Plate has a tarnish ring and there are specks and spots on the underside of the glass, most being on the underside of the glass, with a couple of tiny mold spiders. That curved line on the left is a light scratch on the outside of the glass (.. seems more exaggerated in my cell phone shots than it appears in hand.... ) the short, bright line above his hand was a piece of cat fur on the outside of the glass that I missed when I took my cell phone pics! Looking under magnification I don't see any obvious abrasion/scratch/swipe type of damage to the image.
