The instructions are not ripped but do have some pen writing on them as you can see.
The razor looks very good top to bottom. This razor has very limited plate loss. The really on spot to call out is on the head and I have a photo of it. Its right along the edge but not very noticeable. I wanted to note it as it is there.
This is a very nice 1917 Gillette and will be a great addition to your collection.
