Fine impression and colours, very good condition: the magazine was folded lengthwise at some moment in time and an almost imperceptible fold can be seen in the print. The print is in the middle of the magazine (p. 45 of 99 pages). The (original) staples are rusted, but the magazine is complete as on the day it was issued.
