The die set appears in good used condition. The blued finish on both dies shows minor surface wear and light handling marks consistent with previous use. The micrometer graduations remain clear and legible. The threads and knurling are well-defined with no significant damage observed. The plastic storage case is intact with a vintage retail price tag on the side label. The internal components and manual appear well-preserved.
