Condition doesn't get much better than this for a lens that finished production 35 years ago.
Cosmetically it is excellent - I can see no wear or silvering on the aperture ring or barrel, the rubber focus ring if fully intact, there is no damage or wear on the filter ring and even the mount looks to have very little use.
Mechanically it is superb - no silvering, marks or oil on the aperture blades, which are working perfectly. Focus is buttery smooth.
Optics are clean and clear, no hazing, separation or significant dust or debris (there is of course some minor dust as in almost all lenses of this age).
Here are a few images of the lens (taken in poor lighting):
