Fine, the barrels retain much of the original brown finish with nearly all of the Damascus pattern visible. The casehardened components retain 25% of the bright original case colors in the protected areas with a mostly silver patina on the balance. The wood is very fine with scattered scratches, dings and a small hairline crack at the top tang. Mechanically excellent.
