He is marked (small dents) in a couple of places; most notably on the back of his cloak.  The feet of the base are a little bent and one is an old replacement.  The screws holding him to the base are also replacements.  The porcelain insert is a modern reproduction - please look very closely at the pictures as they form part of the description.
