Condition is very good; there has been a small and neat repair to the thumb rest on the cover at the base where is joins so it is well tucked away. There is a very minor linear dent under the belly line which is very difficult to see in the photographs and a pin-prick dint to the right of the handle. Handling wear is light and appropriate for age.
