The lid having the original undamaged multiple ripple pen holder down the centre.
Working lock and key.
Excellent quality brass inset rise and fall handle to the lid.

The condition is incredibly good given its 100+ year age, the box is solid, the lock works well, and the leather carries light age-related wear to be expected of a used item of this age.
