The trigger guard has a smooth gray and brown patina. The receiver retains all of the original finish and all of the bright gold inlay remains. With the exception of some imprints in the stock varnish from being wrapped in a cloth, the wood is very fine with a few minor dings and handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent with some light scuffs on the exterior.
