Condition
Overall excellent condition. The chromium plating appears to be original. The exterior of the case was polished for the photograph, but the interior has significant patina and oxidation. The exterior shows only minor wear and a few minute losses to the finish, some minor nicks to the edges, and a few extremely minor scratches. The wood handles are in great shape.
