Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original blue finish with a few scattered light handling marks, some light brown spotting on the sides of the hammer, and some scattered grease residue. The grips are fine with a few cracks near the upper screws on each side and otherwise minimal handling evidence. Mechanically excellent.
