Condition Report
The case displays general light wear and surface marks and scratches. There are some slight surface dints visible to the exterior and more surface wear is visible around the hinges. The end of the fixing screw at the base of the suspension loop is broken off on one side. The push release button, clasp and hinges are all in working order. On the interior, the mount holding the sprung platform is a little misshapen and dinted on one end and there is a split in the metal. The date letter is illegible and there is some rubbing and a little distortion to other hallmarks and part hallmarks in places, but they are mainly legible.
