Exceptionally fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining 97% plus arsenal parkerizing and 95% plus blue finishes with some minor edge wear, minor cycling wear, some softened proofs and roll-marks, some dried grease in the action, otherwise limited minor handling marks. The grips are very fine with some minor handling marks in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The accessories are fine to very fine.
