More Information

Some minor nicks and dents to the edges and reverse of the case. Moderate scratching and wear throughout. The pin at the top of the hinge is heavily worn and slightly loose, as a result the hinge is slightly loose. Interior is heavily scratched and worn, elasticated straps are heavily pulled and frayed in places. Case opens with ease and closes with a snap, button mechanism in working order, however the sides do not sit completely flush.
