There is light to moderate scratching, with the heavier scratches toward the end of the barrel just above the blind cap. The blind cap looks good. The cap has lots of light scratches. The cap lip is darkened and there is one tiny chip. The cap band has microscratching. The top black piece is a bit faded. The ring top has a little plating wear and some small spots of pitting.
