Very fine. The exterior shows some heavy edge wear and one of the latching clasps is absent. The interior shows some speckled oil stains and the corners of the lid picture are beginning to separate from the lid. All of the cartridges are very good with some showing an aged patina. A nice Winchester cartridge display board in the original "woodgrain" case.
