The microscope appears to be in good, complete condition with all primary mechanical components intact and moving smoothly. The black enamel finish shows minor wear and surface scuffs consistent with age and professional use. Optical clarity has not been professionally tested. The external illuminator has a repair to the power cord made with electrical tape; its electrical functionality is unverified and should be inspected by a professional before use. The wooden carrying case exhibits external scuffs, surface wear, and age-related oxidation to the metal hardware. The iron key exhibits significant surface rust.
