Timing needs adjusting, otherwise mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate fine pitting. The case is missing a sliver by the right hinge and has a repaired sliver in the same area. There is a crack in the lid and another in the bottom, otherwise the case is sound with light storage & handling scratches & nicks. Interior is moderately faded with wear & soil in the bottom. Mold is very fine and the flask retains about 75% orig finish. Altogether a fine set. 4-30573 JR372 (2,000-3,000)
