Fine with 70% refinished blue on the barrels, areas of visible pitting under the blue, scattered dings and scratches, edge wear, and some spotting and oxidation. The receiver and locks have a mostly gray patina, some scratches, tool marks on the screw heads, and mild spotting. The restocked wood is also fine with crisp checkering, small crack at the forearm tip, scattered small dings, and light chipping around the fittings. Mechanically excellent.
