Mother-of-pearl panels appear generally intact and display attractive natural iridescence. Lenses show age-related dust, marks and possible haze.

Original case is included but is heavily worn, with significant exterior finish loss, scuffing and deterioration. Interior blue lining remains present with age-related wear.
