Condition

The overall condition is good structurally though there are numerous scuff marks through out, primarily on the front flap, the bottom, and the back slip pocket. The bottom corners have some wear to them that has roughened the finish. On the inside flap, there are many scuff marks as well as on the front when you open it up. On the inside front slit pocket, there are marks through out as well as the inside of the inner flap. There are marks through out the lining primarily on the bottom and the leather finish inside the two back interior slip pockets is very noticeably peeling off. The closure has some light striations and faint scratches from use.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use.
