Hi guys
just a quick update- as suggested i contacted the auction house and the outcome was
 They sent pictures and a condition report so it was my choice to bid
So i suppose my own fault for not knowing what to look for :(
I did notice a mark in an image just presumed it was a "flaw" from the making process
anyway thankyou for comments and advice :)
regards
B

paperweights:
Maybe I missed it, but where is the crack and how noticeable is it?  It is hard to tell with the dark pictures.  You don't say what you paid, but if it was substantial, I would expect a well known auction house to admit their mistake and accept a return.  A visible crack is more than a flaw.

For value, if it displays well, enjoy it.  If you sell it, it should not bring more than 10% of the value without the crack.  There are exceptions if the crack is visible only from the side and the paperweight is especially nice.
