Just some light surface marks which is to be expected with age and use but nothing major or anything really that noticeable. The hinged fitted lid opens well and closes tightly shut to the body. The hip flask holds liquids perfectly well with no signs of leaks and definitely no holes. The hip flask is hallmarked with English solid sterling silver hallmarks to the body, lid and hinge which are all very crisp and readable with no wear issues. An excellent clean example from the George VI period which is ready to be used for its purpose or would make a splendid addition to a collection.
