Good as Refinished. Bore is Frosty with light pitting throughout. The barrel shows some rounding of the edges on the locking lugs indicative of polishing, and has a loose link pin. Item shows some light pitting at the forward edges of the slide that has been filled in with the nickel finish. Finish on the backstrap and safety has worn down with a brown patina starting to form. Some further flaking of the finish on the lanyard loop. The slid stop and the barrel link pin both move excessively, suggesting they have been over-polished prior to refinish. The small parts show some handling wear and scratches. The grip panels show some chipping along the edges of the screw holes, and a chip to the forward edge of the left grip panel. There is a discolored pit in the left panel.
