Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish and 97% plus original case colors with some minor edge wear, some dried grease, a few light handling marks, and crisp roll-marks. The grips are exceptionally fine with some minor patina on the medallions and fittings, along with some minor handling marks in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with lightly frayed edges and a separating lid.
