♛Condition

Very good vintage shape. Cleaned and freshened. 75+ years old.

A tiny and faint mark below neckline detail, not noticed unless scrutinizing up close (see photo).

The belt's buckle was reattached by hand by someone who isn't me, and there's a curious button hole added to said belt near this buckle. These things aren't apparent when belt is buckled for use, but I thought it worth mention.
