Jargar Viola A String - New, Unused

This is a Jargar medium A string for viola.
It has never been wound, but contrary to what is written on the ball and bag, the ball is missing, and it is a loop end. (I removed the ball intending to use it someday.)
The string is free of rust and dirt and should be in usable condition, but it is from about 3-4 years ago.
