Surgical instrument set, with amputation saw, early 20th century

Descriptio Metal. Dimensions: 36 x 9.5 cm and 26 x 6.5 cm. An interesting collection of surgical instruments from the early 20th century, comprising various surgical tools, most notably an amputation saw, a particularly significant instrument in the history of medicine and surgical practice prior to the widespread adoption of modern procedures. The group is of considerable historical and documentary interest as evidence of the medical instruments used in major surgeries, combining the inherent technical value of these objects with a strong material and museographic presence. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
