Condition:Great vintage condition considering it's older than either US Presidential Candidate :|Moderate discoloration throughout. Moderate verdigris at fasteners. Dust at interior. Could use a condition but I didn't want to modify its current state. The most notable sign of wear is a bit of surface cracking at the leather front fastener strap, but should clear up if you decide to condition.
