Partially refinished with most of the current blue finish remaining on the barrel with some light handling marks. The frame exhibits a smooth silver patina. There is limited pin prick pitting. The grips are good with some light varnish flaking, some minor scratches and a few minor nicks. The action is fine. From the Will Hoffeld collection.
