Light denting, heavy scratching and wear throughout the panels. Heavy wear and loss to the niello decoration. Some of the hinged between the links show possible signs of repair, and some of the pins are slightly loose, but these are largely in good order - they move smoothly, and appear secure, though some light repair may be required.
