Fair. All metal surfaces have a gray and brown mottled patina with overall light to moderate pitting. The wood is good with numerous scattered minor gouges, dents and scratches associated with a gun of this age. There are four small holes in the shape of a diamond on the left side of the buttstock where possibly a medallion was once mounted. Markings are all clear. Mechanically fine.
