One lower corner bumped with pinhole, the other soft with loss of emulsion; lifting of emulsion in certain areas along edges of print, all of which not affecting images. Some faint scratch lines, indentation marks and a couple of small handling marks and creases, only visible in raking light and as expected with ferrotyped print. Some white specks in the negative.
