Condition is excellent. 99% blue and case colored finish, except the hammer edges are starting to turn a plum red/brown. There is some discoloration of the bone where it meets the frame, but I believe this to be original. The brass with a deep dark patina except there is a spot of discoloration on the backstrap which looks to be something coating the brass that kept it from tarnishing. The interior case lining shows some staining, probably from excess oil. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
