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 wood stain on one of the shafts / sticks is a little darker compared to the wood stain of the other shaft / stick. The balls are fine. If you closely examlne the balls - you can see a few extremely light surface scuffs.

But the packaging (paper part and the clear bag part) that has some visibe 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. A few edge areas have very small nicks. The areas near 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 uneveness, some nicks, several light scratches, and a few holes.

NOTE;

• The full length of the entire M5 mallet (from the bottom tip of the wood part to top outer edge of ball ) of the actual Vic Firth M5 mallet for sale in this listing is 15 inches.
• Some websites have a different length - such as 16 inches.

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

• Please message me if you plan to purchase any other mallets in additon to the Vic Firth M5 pair.

Not listed - I have more mallets by other companies. Hopefully I can create a list for you to view (because there are too many to list in a short duration of time).

I took several pictures of the mallets and there are 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.
