Instant purchase OK! The handle rotates very smoothly! Refer to the last three photos; two of the ridges on the handle-side part are missing. It seems there should be no problem with normal use! It's old, but I think it's very well-made! Please check the condition in the photos! There may be errors or oversights; please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things!
