Condition I would say is at least VERY GOOD some links have slight bends in them but no damage or repairs.Has a brown patina but no rust pitting or anything like that. Chain has not been messed with or monkeyed with, just put a light coat of oil on it. You don't see to many of these older surveyors chains and ones of this size are Very Rare! ...Starting sale off low with and as always actual postage charged dependiong on where you live [weighs just over 4 lbs boxed to ship] , if cheaper in the USA can ship in a flat rate box for $12.35....Please see my other sales for the Surveyors Marking Pins that were found with this chain
