Near mint as custom built, 99% of the blue finish remains with some scattered minor scratches and high edge wear. There is a small spot of pitting underneath the finish near the vent hole. The stock is also excellent with some scattered minor scratches and dings along with some very minor chipping at the toe. Mechanically excellent.
