ANTIQUE GERMAN BISQUE 30" KESTNER TURNED HEAD P

Description

I hate the flowery hyperbole that often is in these auctions.  Therefore, just a simple description.
This shoulder head doll is 30".  It is a turned head Kestner labeled "P".   Please let me know if you need more pictures. They are part of the description
HEAD:  The The head does not have any hairline cracks that I can see.  She has brown functioning antique glass  sleep eyes that are not original to the head. She has an open mouth with 4 teeth, ears are not pierced.  There is glue residue and top on the top of the head. There is a "P" near the rim in the back, and at the base of the shoulderplate it has P  Made in Germany.
The shoulder plate measures 8" across back base. Front to back is about 5". The head circumference is 14.5"
BODY:  The body has been extensively repaired. I do no know if it was original to the head. I did not do this repair.  The torso is taped extensively with white duct tape and then covered in a piece of leather .  I don't know if there are any stamps under the tape.  The  upper arms are made of the same leather as the body repair, and are riveted to the body incorrectly.  The right elbow is facing the body instead of to the back, the left one is facing away from the body looking left.  It looks like whomever repaired it closed the arms wrong and then attached them,  causing the odd attachment. The hips look OK/  The right knee joint  was leaking so I have put some surgical tape on it after picture.  The left knee is OK but there is repair to the lower leg.  The original feet are missing.  They have been replaced with modern reproduction composition lower legs. The bisque lower arms do not have missing fingers or repairs.  They look good
