Very fine, retaining 85% original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance and some scratches and pitting/spotting mostly on the receiver. 50% original nitre blue remains on the loading gate. Patterns of faded out original case colors remain on the lever. The refinished wood is fine with minor dings and scratches and softened checkering. Mechanically excellent.
