Condition Report
The chamberstick displays general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some of the scratches are quite deep, especially some visible to the nozzle. There is quite heavy tarnishing to some areas and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Several minor surface dints and nicks and some visible holes in the decoration of the rim. Hallmarks and maker's marks are a little rubbed but still legible. Wear to the plating on both the extinguisher and snuffers.
