Fine as partially refinished (barrels) with 97% of the blue on the barrels, handling marks overall, a small area of pitting under the blue, and scattered nicks and dings. The receiver has a mostly dark patina with traces of case colors. The engraving appears light, and the screw head slots are very slightly irregular.
