CONDITION REPORT
In original condition. With case key. The top has an old split running parallel to the back, which has now broken away at the joint with the back block. It requires a careful reglue. Measurements of the hollow: 51.5mm diameter and 11mm deep. The split to the front cover has loosened the joint to the back edge which needs gluing.
