The body is actually very nice and just needs a basic cleaning between the grooves but this has not used much or abused.
The inner shade has some paint loss, not wear but just loss.
A VERY PRETTY set overall.

If you are looking for a HEKTOR 125mm, THIS IS IT!
I have had many over the years, most are the early examples with the red box, most are not nearly as nice as this.
This is BY FAR the nicest 125mm I have come across in nearly 30 years!
A pleasure to have and enjoy.
