Excellent, 98% of the original blue finish remains on the various components with some scattered minor scratches, some wear and a few spots of minor cleaned pitting. The casehardened components retain 99% of the original case colors with some minor high edge wear. The lower tang screw is a replacement. The wood is very fine with scattered minor scratches and dings along with flaking of the finish around the cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
