A rare mid to late 19th
C trephine based obstetric perforator used for
drilling into the foetal skull. There is one patch of
plating loss on the outer casing with superficial rust
of 2.5 x 1.5 cm which can be clearly seen in the
photos. There is minor plating loss elsewhere but
otherwise the instrument is complete, fully functional
and in excellent condition. Inside the outer casing
the trephine is near mint and the blue tempered steel
brace (which allow adjustment of a central pin
forwards and backwards to anchor the trephine) is
evidence of high build quality. The crosshatched ebony
handle is in superb condition and looks stunning. |
