Very fine, retaining 95% refinished blue, 20% original case colors with the balance a mix of brown and silver patina, scattered minor spotting on the barrels, and overall mild handling evidence. The wood is very good with numerous small dings and scratches and crisp checkering. The extra barrel set is also very fine. Mechanically excellent.
