This is a used item, worn for about 7 years since it was new, and removed for cover replacement. The claws are not chipped or broken, so I think there will be no problem with wearing it, but please be responsible for any damage that may occur during wear. There are considerable scratches, stains, fading, and discoloration, so please purchase this item only if you are okay with that, or if you are able to paint or repair it yourself.
