These frames & lenses are in near perfect condition and have not even been worn outside the home. They have always been kept protected MJ Case. There are no nicks, scratches, scrapes or blemishes on the lenses. And there is no faded writing at all on the inside of each temple. There is only a small little "nick" on the outside bottom of the Right Rim. I tried to capture it but it's so small that it didn't really even show up. Make an offer!
