The outer canvas case is in fairly condition, though does bear some water marking and loss of stitching in places. There is slight splitting along some edges and some small holes on the base of the cover, however all poppers remain intact and functional. The luggage labels are peeling away in places, and do display some rips and damage. 


The case itself is in good condition considering its age and use. The leather is overall free from any obvious marking and scratching, barring a small ink stain and some wear to the base edges and corners . The interior remains free from any ripping or shredding to the lining, however the elastic does seem to have deteriorated on the internal pockets, there is also some of evidence staining. All catches remain present and functional.
