It was perfect, except pads were shot, when I bought it for $40 at an antiques fair 12 years ago. It looked like it hadn't been touched in 40 years. The dealer wanted $150 for it, but I went back at the end of the day and offered all the cash I had in my pocket. He grumbled quite a bit, but took it.
I had it overhauled, and my dad played it in community bands for a while. This is when the barrel cracked, which is the only crack. The other mark on the picture is just dust.
