Just a little clarification, when I said that it is not perfect, very few guns are and the wear that it has looks to be more "storage wear" rather than holster or use wear. I could find no signs that it had been carried or shot... It sat in a Pelson gun case for much of its life and the case cutout was just a bit too large for the gun, which allowed it to slide around a bit (I think the case is actually for a later model square butt CS). The small spots on the back of the grip frame are not noticeable with the normal eye, but show a bit of inattention to hand moisture somewhere in its life. With all of that, I would still rate the finish and condition in the 97%-98% range (maybe a bit higher or lower depending on your scale), which is well withing my range of desirable guns.
