The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and there is a small cluster of scratches a little higher than mid-barrel. The top of the cap has some bite marks. The flat top of the cap has scratch marks that run across the white dot, but the dot is a pure color. The lever has a few small scratches but no plating wear. The clip looks really nice with plating wear on the ball. The imprints are clear.
