Condition Report
The case displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There is considerable wear and loss of detail to the engine turned decoration on the outer case and it is almost completely rubbed away in some areas. Some deeper scratches and nicks and little dints are also visible. Hinges and clasp appear in working order. The mount around the sprung section bears a slightly later date mark. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks are still clear and legible.
