Fine as refinished. 85% of the blue remains on the barrels with evidence of light spotting and dings under the blue, handling marks overall, spotting, and moderate loss of the gold in the inlaid bands. The receiver has a dark gray/brown patina overall and well defined engraving. The wood is fine as freshened with small dings and dents, and some small gaps around the side plates. Mechanically very good.
