The base of the case appears to have been re-attached and there is a crack visible along the interior just above the bottom rim. There are numerous small patches visible along the sides and edges of the hinged cover and base along with some small chips/losses to the edge of the back rim on the cover. There is some scratching/wear to the silver mounts which appears to have been re-attached and the majority of the silver inlay to the cover's design is missing. Overall, the box is in fair condition. less
