Exceptionally fine as embellished and finished by Master Engraver Angelo Bee. 99% of the factory quality blue finish remains with sharp engraving, brilliant gold work, and a few light handling marks. The wood is also very fine with attractive grain, crisp checkering, and a few small dings. Mechanically excellent.
