Very good as refinished with 95% blue finish remaining showing some wear on the high spots. The replacement wood is very good with the cheekpiece and left upper wrist having been redesigned. Overall there are a few minor dings and dents, and sharp checkering. The inside of the forearm has been carved with the type of wood (French walnut), an individuals name and the date "1960". The engraving is crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
