Good. All with stain, scuffs and scratches. Trood has a flake to inner lip, some nibbles and is quite worn and pitted. Langley has some impact marks and scratches. Davidson is solid with some wear over the body, there is a flake chip to front left base edge with an associated bruise under the base, also another small chip to front under base. Elliott is very dull all over with some wear and scratches. McDonald is a nice colour with wear and some little marks, it has been oiled internally. The Langley is probably the pick of these as it is quite hard to get. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
