Good. The belt shows some surface cracking and wear to the leather but remains pliable with a few gouges and small holes in the middle of the leather. The holster is good with moderate surface cracking, stitching is tight. The ammunition pouch is good with some surface cracking of the leather. Belt plate is excellent with some nicks and has aged to a deep golden patina.
