The Dag is tinted and appears to have most of the original seals intact . Case is in poor repair and had to photograph the felt makers mark and enhance it to see the Brady Name and info. Light dust under glass that must have entered through small area of missing seal tape on back. Dag is tinted and 1/2 plate size. Color on pic a little off due to poor camera and my poor picture taking. Case missing hinges and bottom and side of 1/2 of case. Dag will slide out easily. Some point in it's history it was close to a fire which lightly burnt one side [left} of the case. The heat marks are evident on the left side of the preserver but the Dag appears fine. Spotting under the glass but not the the dag surface. Will be taking the piece to a Major Auction house in Chicago for authentication and appraisal.
