Condition Report
The racket displays some tarnishing and general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. Several surface nicks and little dints throughout. Residues of dirt or polish around the strings. The cutting blade feels quite loose but moves up and down well, a couple of dints to cutting edge. Probably a steel blade? Small split to the rim at the top of the handle. Hallmarks are through the ribbed decoration on the handle and therefore difficult to read accurately.
