Metal with some scattered surface oxidation and lightly scattered pitting, in particular on the face of the cylinder and sides of the hammer. Frame with some minute traces of dull case color on the right, although mostly a pewter gray patina. Cylinder scene very good and almost completely intact with much of the "Engaged" legend at the front edge of the cylinder visible and partly legible. Safety pins all intact with some showing moderate wear. Brass with some traces of silver. Mechanically functional action. Grip lightly sanded with no varnish remaining, and a couple of tiny chips missing at the sharp leading and trailing edges. Case good, with moderate wear on both the exterior and interior.
