Very fine, retaining 97% original blue on the barrels, 75% original case colors with the balance fading to silver, professionally reblued trigger guard, and generally minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine as revarnished with a few minor handling marks, a slight crack at the upper tang, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
