Fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing bright wear on the edges and flat surfaces, takedown lines on the frame, and scattered handling marks. The front grip strap has been very crudely stippled. The grips are very good, with light scratches and dings. Box is fair, with wear concentrated along the edges and a few open corners. The papers are good, with some tearing along the folds and mild foxing. Mechanically excellent.
