Mine has the military black enamel finish, with only a few small chips. This is a durable finish, and one of the many things I like about this MilSurp gun is that it doesnt have a fancy, pretty finish that I'd be forever worried about getting scratched up. This gun is made to be carried every day without a care in the world about messing up the finish, and I do indeed carry it with me every day, everywhere I go.
