Condition report:
Both dies show visible surface oxidation and light rust on the knurled portions of the bodies and on the threaded adjustment stems (photo 3 and photo 4). The aluminum lock rings remain bright with minor handling marks. The green plastic storage case shows minor surface scuffs and a small crack in the plastic material near the hinge (photo 1). The paper labels and instructions show light age-related yellowing but remain fully legible. Mechanical function of the adjustment threads and decapping unit has not been independently verified.
