This item belonged to my father. The strings were broken, so I'm selling the case and the instruction book. The case has a few small scratches on the surface, which are difficult to see in the photos. The metal fittings on the top show signs of rust due to age. Please check the photos (17th to 20th). The instruction book is in good condition, with no tears or cut-outs.
