Amazing ! Almost everything he sells is antique. Especially than he should know that packing is important. Damage to antiques is very bad for their marketvalue. Amazing that he has still 100% positive feedback.

I had this once with an old spearhead that came in with a damaged (bend) point.
Fortunately a friend was able to restore that one, because it is such a downer on a purchase.

Hope the chips will glue on nicely.

All the best
