This item is new, unopened, and has been in storage. It's a made-in-Japan product from 1983, making it quite old. The spring has no rust, and there's no noticeable aging, making it a beautiful item. It has been stored in a regular household, and this description is based on a personal assessment. There may be oversights, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. There are some areas where the printing has been scraped off during storage. It's also slightly dirty, so I'm offering it at a reduced price.
