As it came out of the estate. On the inside front cover it is written happy birthday to Sally low from uncle lud Nov 1945. The front cover has a few rips in it. Few of the pages are loose. Most of the patches are glued to the pages. There is a few more patches than what are pictured. But they are Corps, command and non valuable patches. Album shows wear from storage. Pages are flaking from ages. There is no brick and mortar store.
