Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original high polish blue and vivid casehardened finishes with only the slightest handling marks. The grips are also excellent with minimal handling marks, some light verdigris on the screw grommets, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some light wear and about 3/4 of the label remaining.
