Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The top previously fitted with a bookrest, but now lacking. Some patches visible to the veneer throughout. The side panels of the felt lined interior are detached causing it to fall into the case, but can easily be fixed. A couple of areas of veneer loss.
