Condition Report
Condition generally good. On thorough inspection, there are some very minor hairlines to enamel, also some very minor pit marks - both aspects are only evident on more thorough inspection, and piece appears to not have really left presentation box. Push catch and spring action hinge work well. Some wear to the interior as expected with age, and elastic has perished somewhat. The presentation case has a degree of staining to interior as per age, but generally fine.
