This item shows considerable signs of use. The scratches and stains are as shown in the photos. The major damage is the broken leather part in photo 6. I don't think it affects usability. The zippers and buttons open and close without any problems. The coin compartment is quite blackened. I used it with care, but it has aged considerably, so I replaced it. I purchased it at an Il Bisonte store, so it is authentic. Please purchase only if you understand the condition.
