    CONDITION:
    6+ (Fine-Very Fine): The hinging edge of the case has entirely separated, so case is opened not by unsnapping the front but by just lifting the cover from the back. Goggles show some moderate wear and small spots of tarnish but are overall well-preserved.
    GUARANTEE:
    As with all my items, this piece is guaranteed original.
