Fine overall with 70% of the original blue with loss on the grip straps and sides of the cylinder. The moderately worn grips are very good with light handling marks and scratches. The oak case is very good with 75% of the original varnish overall with some repairs on the corners with a couple of corners reglued. The hinges and brass locks are very good, however it is missing the small brass cover plate on the front lock.
