The poster has a lateral crease across the center and few small scuffs and abrasions and a small pinhole sized hole just above the woman’s face.  The back of the poster shows some light soiling and a trace of staining around the edges in places that doesn’t affect the front side artwork.  Overall condition is very good for this Vietnam War era vintage original.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Age Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52595409715480,"sku":"26080001 Drawer 26C","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/7794\/1863\/files\/IMG_1571.jpg?v=1788219720","url":"https:\/\/goldenageposters.com\/products\/c-1970-north-vietnamese-vietcong-hand-painted-poster-da-nang-tet-offensive","provider":"Golden Age Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
