SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO SPEAK OF. ITS CARVED FROM ONE TREE BUT I DONT KNOW ITS ORIGIN
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ROB AT 619-405-9667

if this is the green you were asking about, I think this green may be a result of moisture getting under the wax base finish they used to use on these.
it is hard to tell just from the pic.
just my best 'educated' guess.
