Condition Report
The chamberstick appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some tarnishing and general surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Much deeper scratches visible to some areas. Residues of polish. The extinguisher appears to be a good matched fit to the handle. Hallmarks located to underside of base and repeated in part on the nozzle, all clear and legible. Hallmarks to the extinguisher are a little rubbed but still clearly legible.
