There are some minor spots on the exterior left corner, right side seam base and base fold. The interior of the front slip pocket has a spot of darkened adhesive.

THE SECOND
The overall condition is good though there is a small white spot on the center back exterior and the zipper pulls plating has worn away. There are some small spots by the exterior zipper, and the lining is moderately discolored from age and use. The base corners have some wear to them and the pliability of the skin is more worn on the lower left corner.
