Wrap is tight and vibrant with NO rash on any of the panels. The top edge of the wrap underneath where the head sits on the shell has scuffs but cannot be seen when the head is on. Original snares. Interior has NOT been repainted. No extra holes.

Pre-serial number badge and grommet are original and tight. Top hoop has a spot with some minor stick marks.
