Pre-loved, but in excellent vintage condition considering the age of the piece. There are some natural scars as well as some signs of use to the body of the glove-tanned leather exterior, and there is a light amount of wear to all four corners. The interior has two light pen marks, as pictured. I did not attempt to remove them, so they may be able to be removed. To0his beautiful, classic piece still has a lot of life left in her, however, and would make a beautiful addition to any collection.
