Condition report:
The camera body shows minor surface dust and light scuffing to the leatherette panels. Chrome components are bright with minimal pitting. The winding mechanism and turret rotation function smoothly; the shutter and internal mechanical timings are untested for accuracy. Lenses show minor internal dust commensurate with age, with no obvious signs of fungus or heavy scratching upon external inspection. The leather case exhibits moderate age-related wear, including surface scuffs and minor loss to the stitching, but remains structurally sound. Not tested.
