The damage occurred before I owned the ashtray, but it looks like the left arm had previously broken off and is now re-attached. The arm is very securely attached and solid. Looks like a small hole remains that looks like it goes to the center of Smokey. However, it does still look great at first look (if I do say so myself). Please look at pictures for condition.
