Very fine, retaining 95% plus arsenal refurbished blue finish and 90% straw colors with some limited minor edge wear, some darkening of the straw-colored parts, limited spotting, and limited minor handling marks. The grips are exceptionally fine with some limited light handling marks in the otherwise defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
