This was an Amazon open box return item. Its in excellent condition but has one small flaw. A tiny bit of flaking of the black coating where the iron meets the handle. This is pictured it the photo with my finger. It works well and is very clean. This is a 1.25" barrel as noted in the photo with the model number. However, this will ship in a Bio Ionic box that is incorrectly labeled 1". The item photographed is the exact one you are purchasing. Great deal!
