The case is in good general condition - it is showing some slight wear and tear as well as some scratching to silver front and back, the cartouche appears to have some surface level ‘amateur’ inscription to it. The hallmark is clear and the hinge in relatively good working condition. Both suspension loops have some oval link chain attached - would appear that some links are missing as chain in two separate parts.
