Condition Excellent condition. There are just some small scratches and signs of use. There's some light wear on the wear on the chrome plated metal threads on the barrel. There's some handwear and microscratching on the wide cap band, but no brassing. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. The imprint is a bit worn so you can just barely make out the 1250 marking, but you can still read the rest of it. It's fully restored and working well.
