CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 98% plus bright original high polish blue and casehardened finishes showing some scattered handling marks. All of the crisp cylinder scene remains. The grip is also excellent with limited handling marks and nearly all original varnish remaining. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with a couple cracks along the grain on the bottom and a series of small circular pressure dents on the exterior of the lid, otherwise minor handing/storage marks and some typical high spot wear on the lining.
The accessories are very fine to excellent.
