This case is in excellent condition for its age. The writing on the front is a bit scratched up but the case itself has no dings. The metal latches and handle do you have some slight rust but nothing significant. The case itself weighs a little over 8 lb. The case could use a little cleaning but not much. Please see photos as they are part of the description. Also, I am including a screw on side handle. This is a very hard to find case. Will be shipped carefully. Thanks for looking!
