Small chips to the original paint.   I don't have any documentation.   This will likely run a couple hundred dollars but anyone bidding should expect to pay shipping costs in addition to winning bid price.  All shipping, insurance and pacakging/crating costs must be paid by winning bidder in addition to winning bid amount. As I understand it, they were used as set props in the FOX production of "CLEOPATRA" starring Elizabeth Taylor.  Incredible detailing in their features.  If you are in Los Angeles, we can arrange pickup.  Such method would actually be preferred.  Also if you are in Los Angeles and are interested in previewing them prior to bidding, please email me through here.
