Thanks guys for your reply. According to the seller it’s leather peeling off the surface.
If it's simply a bit like that that's been damaged, well, that's fairly normal for a shearling in the fullness of time. My Irvin has a spot of removed finish where the cat brought up a furball on it that dried in and I didn't wet it enough before I tried to remove it...
If it's a wider symptom of the surface generally lifting and peeling, I might be more wary about buying - or at least factor that into the price.
