Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. The main flaw is a ring of discoloration near the top of the cap, and some brownish discoloration on the barrel threads. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The lever has moderate to heavy scratching near the end, including a few long, deep scratches. There are a couple "flea bites" along the edge of the top of the cap. The cap band has moderate microscratching. The ring-top has plating wear along the edges of the mount. The ring looks good. The imprints, including the model number on the flat end of the barrel, are clear.
