I got these mallets back in 2019 (even back then - they were in "new" old stock condition).

I was planning to sell them sooner- but was kind of busy. Finally getting a chance to sell them now.

The mallets are in MINT condition. The packaging is in between Very Good and Good shape.

The mallets are fine / unused condition.

The balls are fine. If you closely examine the balls - you can see a few extremely light surface scuffs.

But the packaging (paper part and the clear bag part) that has some visible aging same some visible wear.

• The paper part of the packaging has some visible not to light / not too deep unevenness and some not too serious visible creases. The areas near a few of the corners have creases. And the white areas of the paper has some aging / slight yellowing.
• The clear plastic baggie has aged / yellowed. It has several visible imperfections: some cloudiness, some discoloration, some creases, some unevenness, some nicks, several light scratches, and a few holes.

Below are links of the mallets that I have listed on REVERB.

• Please message me if you plan to purchase any other mallets in addition to the Vic Firth M8 pair.

I took several pictures of the mallets and there are a couple pictures of the packaging.

NOTE: There may be a few minor imperfections that I overlooked. There maybe a few minor imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures. Also - there are some imperfections (glares, reflections. dust specks) that show up in the pictures that are not that visible in person.
