Excellent with 95% of the original wartime phosphate finish with edge and high spot wear overall with thinning on the front grip strap. The grips are very fine with nice distinct checkering showing thinning of the original black wood finish, mixed with some minor light pressure dents in the checkering. It has matching visible numbers. The holster belt and magazine pouch are all very good overall with supple leather and tight stitching. The holster shows some old black polish touch up around the edges.
