Condition.
Excellent condition with light surface marks that are consistent with genuine age, use & polishing. There is one ding to the top of one of the capitals but is really unnoticeable with the wider wax pan on the top. Some of the original pitch loading on one of the sticks has been lost on the underside & the original felt stuck back on, this just means that there is not as much felt protruding on the underside. Both of these can be seen in the photographs above.
