Yes... a real dilemma for the winning bidder. Do they trim the tip, to neaten it up a bit? I am typically anti-restoration in any form, but it would be a tiny touch-up. Plus, technically, the missing portion already means it's "altered" (even if by unintentional means).
I have a feeling the winning bidder won't touch it with a 10 foot pole, and will leave it as-is. Either way, REA should have shown a super close-up photo of the tip, as it could make over $1K worth of difference in terms of value.
