Condition Report
There are noticeable large dents to the whole piece. There's a split in the silver to the front border that's about 3cm in length, also a split to the silver under the button. The material on the inside is very marked with a small rip to the top and bottom of the material covering the hinge, there's also built up dirt to the edges. Hinge in good working order. Some tarnishing to the inside rims. Hallmark slightly rubbed but legible.
