Excellent with 98% of the blue finish with wear and blue loss on the edges and high spots with light browning on the underside of the barrel. The grips are very fine with distinct checkering with minor handling marks, that have been varnished on the outside of the grips. The holster is in very fine condition with a nice attractive original light brown color with scratches and scuffing on the front of the flap and holster body with some darker areas on the edges of the flap, end of the magazine pouch and toe. It has nice clear markings on the back with tight stitching overall. This luger has all matching numbers except the unnumbered magazines as noted above.
