Overall good condition with tarnishing and scratches commensurate with age. The lids and mounting junctures are tight and don't open easily. The nib box drawer also sticks a bit. Weight includes non-silver components. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request.
