Hood has been used, I don't see any cracks or dents, or anything damaged in any way. It looks very nice, it is very clean. This lens hood is fully operational and functions as intended.  I would rate it an 9, on a scale from 1 to 10.    
Hood is made of metal.  

Please note that hood is single threaded. But it is reversable.
