There is some stickiness on its model sticker. It does have a few scratches here and there but not beat up in any way
Its front display does have some small scratches. But, the meter is in great shape and easy to read! All of its detailing is boldly visible, and no fading.
All of its knobs work well. The N connections on either side are in great shape as well! The rear panel contains a VSWR chart that is in great shape. The handle is scuffed, but it functions well! All of its feet are intact, and it stands well.
Included with this wattmeter is its nice original BIRD leather case, its original manual, and extra connectors and adapters. Its leather case is a little worn but not bad (see photos for more detailing). All is from a non-smoker.

Info on the item:
The Bird 4304A Wattmeter is an in-line sensor that measures RF power and load match in 50 Ohm coaxial transmission lines. It can be used with CW, AM, FM, and analog TV, but not pulse modulation. It is supplied with a special broadband element with a frequency range of 25 to 1000 MHz. It can measure up to 500 W, depending on the frequency, and has a maximum VSWR of 1.07 with the standard “N” connectors. A range switch allows the full scale power to be reduced for greater accuracy.
The wattmeter is portable, with an included carrying strap. It has an aluminum housing and an easily removed back cover, with bumpers on the base and back that allow the meter to stand or lie flat. For additional protection, the microammeter is specially shock mounted. A screw on the lower front face of the meter is used to zero the pointer. Below the meter face, the RF line section protrudes slightly from the wattmeter housing with the element socket in the center
