The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as scratches and marks near the end of the barrel. The lever has moderate microscratching and one tiny scratch. The cap band has light to moderate microscratching. The ring top has light plating wear along the edges of the mount and along the top of the center of the mount. The ring itself looks good.
