Very fine as professionally upgraded to the current configuration, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, some plum coloration, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel set is very fine with a tiny speckle of spotting. The case is excellent.
