It is structurally sound but the two rear corner joints are very slightly separating in small areas, this however does not affect the working of the box. There is a very slight warp to the lid but it shuts flat. The key does not work the lock but it cannot be removed. The lining to the inside has some spotted staining, it is worn through to the wood in small areas and there is a chip to the wood in one place. The section of lining which holds the screwdrivers is loose. The powder flask has a small dent and some scrapes and marks. The spring from the catch is missing. The bullet mould has lots of dents, scratches and signs of use, there is pitting to the steel sprue plate. Please register to request a condition report
