Very good as refinished. The barrels retain 20% scattered brown finish and most of the Damascus pattern remains. The locks retain 90% case colors and the frame retains 50% case colors mixed with smooth a gray patina. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth grayish patina. The wood is also very good with scattered minor dents and scratches, crisp checkering, and some black marker on the right side. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine.
