How would you describe the condition of this lens? I am unclear as to what is going on inside the barrel. I have tried to attach a picture.
Thanks

Of course I may be wrong, but to me it looks like the paint on the lens element edges coming off.

It is advertised as paint loss, but with no flakes present inside the barrel. Is paint loss a common problem with these "oldish" lenses?

Paint loss. I've a couple like it for the Prominent. Easy enough to fix on THAT camera and lens- as the rear cells don't need any wrenches for removal. Just touch it up with flat black, and away I go!
