Condition - Excellent*

Details -

Unused, just stored since purchase, the form is soft-sided with normal surface undulations however the top handles have acquired a sideways lean, (will even eventually with use.)

There are surface impressions to the hide at the handle bases, where the hardware rests, as is part of the design.

The hide displays lots of beautiful, natural striations, with just one, very light diagonal fingernail scratch to the rear upper RH side of the bag.

The flip lock clasp displays light friction scratches from resting through the top plate's aperture. 

There are two very small smudges of yellowed adhesive, (the glue used in construction,) on the interiors aperture, as shown. Unnoticable without the closest of inspections.

All inking, (edge sealant) is in place, stitching is tight and the four base corners curves are pristine.

 The main reason for the *notation is due to the aging to minor tarnish to the geometric studs throughout the piece. As often happens when these bags are stored, the studs develop surface aging. A brand new Rockstud's studs will gleam, but over time they dull and acquire arc like darkening to the pyramid sides. Shown clearly in the zoomed photos above, its almost invisible to the naked eye and doesn't affect the piece in any way.

Fully lined in robust, cream cotton weave linen with zipped pocket and two leather trimmed slip sections.
