PLATING NOTES: The plating diagram shown in Neinken as position 19L3 (page 237) is incorrect and is really Position 58L3.

Ornaments L, M and N are very short. Ornaments A and B are complete. Ornament R appears weak. There is also a faint blurry horizontal line under the left scroll. (Not shown) The right plume is weak internally.
