I purchased this used three years ago. There was a scratch on the handle of the case when I bought it (see the last photo). I will also include a mouthpiece if you need one. I have applied a mosaic filter to the bell due to reflections. There are scratches and small dents on the instrument itself and the case due to use, as well as paint peeling in areas that are touched by bare hands during playing (near the levers, inside the bell and the upper part of the connection to the body, etc.). There are no major scratches or dents that would interfere with playing. Operation has been confirmed.
