Refinished, the barrels retain most of the dark brown finish with some wear, scratches and dings. Nearly all of the Damascus pattern is visible. The lower tang retains 70% of the original blue finish with handling wear. The casehardened components have a silvery gray patina with some scratches, dings and minor pitting. The replacement wood is good with scattered minor dings, scratches and some dark oil stained areas. The top left of the wrist has a large piece absent. Mechanically excellent.
