Chemise is sound, though a little rubbed, and leather is split to the front joint. Front hinge is reasonably firm. Losses and a split to the leather of the flap holding one side of the clasp. Leather which is attached to the clasp on this side is tender. The leather to the other flap appears very smart, but there are tears to the silk of the lining.
