I bought this for my granddaughter, who wants to be a vet.. I purchased a pink stethoscope, some pink surgical face masks, made her a pink lab coat and got her some books on being a vet.. I ordered this because it's shown as being pink and I thought it'd fit in good with the other pink things. Unfortunately, it's actually red, and looks used.. The handle is tarnished with little bubbles in the finish.. It didn't cost much so it's not a huge waste, but just not what I ordered and won't fit in with the rest of the "pink"... Wish I'd ordered from someone else...
