Fine, half of the brown finish remains on the barrels with much of the Damascus pattern visible. The trigger guard has a brown patina. The casehardened components retain strong traces of the original case colors in the protected areas with a mottled gray/brown patina on the balance. The replacement wood is very good as refinished with two slivers absent from the forearm, a long hairline crack across the middle of the forearm and scattered scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
