Excellent condition for the model year! This bag, according to it’s stamp, was made in May of 1998. I believe it was made in Costa Rica, but I can’t be sure. Very, very well maintained. Cleaned and oiled regularly. Normal wear for the age, and a spot on the back. It might go away with more oiling! Zipper still works fantastic, and there is no cracking or rips anywhere. Please ask any questions before purchasing! I tried to add as many photos as possible!
