The barrel is darker than the cap, showing more dark brown tones whereas the cap has the green intended color scheme. The cap and barrel have moderate to heavy scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and a cluster of heavy scratches at the end. The lever has plating wear and pitting along the top edge. The cap has heavy scratching, especially near the top. The cap band has moderate microscratching. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and then light microscratching elsewhere.
