Excellent overall, retaining 95% original blue finish, 90% original case colors with the balance an attractive silver, light handling evidence, and a faint cylinder drag line. The grips are also excellent with a few minor marks and sharp texture. The box is very good with some edge wear and storage marks. Mechanically excellent.
