Very fine, retaining 95% original blue finish with much of the loss on the tang/triggerguard, nearly all of the vivid original case colors, some scratches and handling evidence, a few tiny dings on the right barrel near the muzzle, a few light dings and scratches on the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
