THE SECOND

The overall condition is very good though there are some faint scuffs throughout the exterior of the bag with a light white spot on the front right just below the opening. The interior leather has several scuffs throughout.

THE THIRD

The overall condition is very good structurally though there is a soiled spot on the top left corner of the front flap and some wear to each of the bottom exterior corners.

THE FOURTH

The overall condition is good with some wear most noticeable on the removeable shoulder strap where it attaches to the bag and the strap snaps are discolored from age. The bag, though very good structurally, has some wrinkles and creases toward the bottom of the bag and the front snap closure has some striations from use as well as fading to the gold-tone plating. The lining has some hanging threads, mostly on the left interior side and a spot on the bottom left corner.

THE FIFTH

The overall condition is good structurally though there are several scratches to the exterior, noticeably on the front left, under the top bar closure at center front, and the top of the closure. The bottom corners are worn showing white underneath and there are several areas between the scales where the silver coating has worn away revealing white underneath. The lining has several impressions and scratches throughout and a spot on the back right pocket. The shoulder strap, while intact, has visible adhesive residue along the entirety of the strap and the hardware is worn and dull.

THE SIXTH
The overall condition is good structurally though each of the sides appear to be coming unglued.

THE SEVENTH
The overall condition is very good with some very faint scuffs throughout the exterior and interior leather.
