Condition Excellent condition. The cap band has a few marks on it but no plating wear. There are faint microscratches throughout and near the black cap piece the cap has very small pinprick bite marks. The beige color is largely uninterrupted with a yellow stain above the breather holes in the cap and on the barrel threads. Due to the translucence of the cap it looks darker at the top, but that is from the black inner cap lining and not discoloration or staining. The blind cap is lighter than the rest of the black material. The barrel imprint is legible. No cracks, chips, or personalization.
