There is a dent in the handle. Opened for photography. This item belongs to a family member, and its frequency of use is unknown, as are the details and when it was acquired. Based on the condition of the item, I believe it is unused, but there may be some deterioration due to long-term storage in a cool, dark place at home. For this reason, I am listing it as having no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. No claims accepted. Please refrain from purchasing for the purpose of resale.
