Purchasing information-

The exterior canvas holds strong colour without signs of fading with two very small bobbles of thread, one on the centre of the lid and on on the centre back. The metalwork retains plating and a high polish with few hairline scratches; front fastening is fully working. Interior leather holds strong colour with a long faint impression mark and a dot sized mark to the underside of the lid and a few very faint surface scratches around the opening. Date stamp is a 'V' in a circle indicating 1992. Box is in good condition with wear to the lid corners and a scattering of black dots.
