One small deeper scuff to rear body. Couple of short deeper scratches to front shoulder and a tiny flake as well. Bottom pedestal part has some wear, there are a couple of fine bruises to front base edge 13 x 7 mm and 12 x 7 mm, these are very hard to see. A couple of other small bruises and impact type marks around this pedestal part, which also has some usage wear. Not a bad example of a typical syphon that has been used.
