Condition:

The overall condition is good structurally though there is visible darkening along the handles from use. The metal hardware has some visible striations and scuff marks especially long the handle buckles and top zipper pull. The leather piping along the sides and bottom edges of the bag are worn and darkened, with heavier wear at each base corner of the bag. There are some scratches on the bottom of the exterior canvas just above the piping as well as on the base. The lining has some soiling along the top on each side of the zipper opening but is otherwise clean.

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.
