Very fine, with a fine aged patina on the silver components, a mixed gray on the iron and an attractive aged color on the visible brass. Grips are very good, with some chipping and cracks concentrated on the left panel. The mold is missing a leg, and the tweezers are pitted. Mechanically excellent.
