Use and enlarge all photos as they are an important part of the overall description of condition for this item. Please keep in mind that the tiniest flaw will be greatly exaggerated due to the highly magnified close up pictures, it will definitely look better in hand!

Like everything else I sell, this is 100% original, never ever any repairs or reproduction items ever! While I try to grade as accurately as possible, it's possible I've missed something as I'm only human. Everyone has a different definition of condition. If you don't agree with mine, that's fine, just contact me to arrange a return, no questions asked as long as it is returned in the condition sent. I don't use a magnifying glass to inspect anything and I don't claim to be an expert in anything but honesty.
