Very fine as professionally custom engraved and refinished with 99% of the factory quality blue finish remaining, some light handling marks, and very sharp detailed engraving. The wood is also very fine with rich color, sharp checkering, and just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with small scuffs and dings on the exterior.
