Hi Skarts,
A fine original B&NL AG for me as well. Great condition.
I think the hinge is just fine, B&NL is one of the few makers to solder on their hinge and catches after the finish was applied to the wreath, so you will see the solder marks. But the hinge, pin and catch are all textbook B&NL, so a very nice example.
Tom
