Lens shows the iconic Running Indian graphic throughout the inner field as well as Indian Gasoline script along the outer edge. CONDITION: Lens is in overall excellent condition, showing no wear to the Running Indian graphic with light color spotting in the Indian Gasoline lettering. Lens shows some minimal surface scratching on the outer glass as well as some minor paint wear along the lower outer edge.
