The first one seemed best to me the others had more worn leather or no linen. I would ask seller for more pictures and plenty of questions. If the linen on the first one is okay, I wouldnt worry about the nick on the end you wont strop that far. It looks to me from what I can see that the leather on #1 just needs a good cleaning with saddle soap and then conditioned with neatsfoot oil. Hope this helps and as always wait around, someone else will be around shortly to share their expertise. God Bless and good luck.
