I purchased this new and have kept it in storage without using it. While there may be some minor scratches from storage, it is unused. However, during storage, the silver plating tarnished due to sulfurization. Polishing it several times caused the gold plating to thin and mostly peel off, leaving it with a silver-plated finish. Of course, there are no dents on the rim or distortions on the shank tip, so it can be used without any problems. Thank you.
