The darker leather straps and the large black field holster exhibit heavy creasing, cracking, surface wear, and dryness consistent with extensive use and age. Hardware on the straps shows verdigris and oxidation. The synthetic holsters are in generally good, serviceable condition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
