The cap has some surface brassing and plating wear and dots of corrosion. The clip has dots of pitting all along the arrow's shaft. The barrel has light scratching, and a ring around it where the cap has caused some corrosion. There's also a patch of brassing/corrosion on the barrel near that ring. The jewels on top of the cap and at the end of the barrel are both excellent. The cap imprints are clear.
